The Cabinet on Wednesday was briefed by the President of Moriyama and Teshima company, Drew Wensley, about the implementation of an integrated project to rehabilitate the Al-Zarqa river and address its environmental impact.
Moriyama and Teshima, a Canadian company, will implement the first phase of the project which will cover 107 kilometer stretch of the river, at the company's expense and will cost up to $75,000.
Environment Minister Tahir Shakhshir said that the Al-Zarqa governorate, located 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Amman, is facing an environmental problem, especially that of industrial water pollution.
Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour instructed to form a higher committee headed by Minister of Water and Irrigation Hazem Nasser to follow up on all aspects of this project, which will take five years to be implemented.
