| Abstract | This paper describes a feasibility stage geotechnical evaluation carried out at the Karameh dam site. The 45 m high, 2,150 m long dam will be built across the Wadi Mallaha on Quaternary lacustrine deposits and store fresh water from the King Abdullah Canal. A confined highly saline aquifer was identified at a depth of 25 m, the saline groundwater migrating naturally through the Lisan Formation. Stability analysis of the foundation indicates that the slopes are just stable under dry conditions and may become unstable under wet conditions. The most important problem is the presence of the active main Jordan Valley Fault crossing both the dam body and reservoir. Cet article décrit une étude géotechnique de faisabilité concernant le site de barrage de Karameh. Le barrage de 45 m de hauteur et 2.150 m de longueur sera construit sur des dépôts lacustres quaternaires de l'oued Mallaha et stockera des eaux douces apportées par le canal King Abdullah. Une nappe captive de forte salinité a été identifiée à 25 m de profondeur, s'écoulant naturellement au travers de la formation de Lisan. L'analyse de stabilité de l'ouvrage indique que les pentes du barrage sont juste stables en conditions sèches et peuvent devenir instables en conditions humides. La faille active de la vallée du Jourdain, traversant la fondation du barrage et le réservoir constitue le principal problème potentiel. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
