Indirect reuse of wastewater effluent has been occurring in Jordan for a number of years as a result of the historical practice of discharging wastewater to the wades where it generally mixes with surface flow. The research part input was established in the year 1988 in Khirbet As-Samara waste stabilization bonds in collaboration with FAO. Under the porting of Jordanian National quality criteria for reuse "Jordanian Standard 202/91 for Disposal Effluents and the Jordanian Standard JS/893/1995 entitled Standard Conditions of treated wastewater reuse of treated wastewater taking place in several areas distributed among the country, around 17 wastewater treated plants with 69 million cubic meter (MCM) as a total quantity on the year 1999. A direct reuse among the wadis, which are below the treatment plants level, and indirect reuse after mixing with King Tatal Dam "4 treatment plants which discharging the effluent into this reservoir including Khirbet As-Samra as a part of the catchment area to this dam. Restricted crops like fodder crops, flowers, olives and forest trees are widely cultivated for the direct reuse, the diluted factor lead for more safety aspects which give the indirect reuse the permission for non-restricted agriculture Farrow irrigation and drip irrigation systems tire recommended with respect to salinity and clogging problems, which may, had the opportunity of appearance. The treated wastewater quality is within the standards "National and in international standards".
