Kafrein reservoir captures runoff near the Dead Sea, Jordan
Kafrein reservoir captures runoff near the Dead Sea, JordanThe Kafrein Dam captures runoff from Jordan River side valley wadis, near the Dead Sea, Jordan. USGS hosted a field trip that included a stop at the dam in February, 2017 during a regional workshop on aquifer storage & recovery in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, in cooperation with the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Um Junb lava dome, western Saudi Arabia
View south-southwest across maar crater of Gura 1 toward benmoreite lava dome and flow of Um Junb. Trachytic pyroclastic flow deposits of Gura 2 enter from upper right, mantling mugearite lava flow of Dabaa 1. Maar crater is about 0.7 kilometers across, and Um Junb stands about 250 meters above surroundings.
