The Shueib Valley Dam (Wadi Shueib) has flooded after reaching its maximum capacity of 1.7 million cubic meters, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation said in a statement to Jordan News Agency (Petra).

In related news, the Ministry has earlier warned citizens living near the Wala Dam in Madaba that it is necessary to stay away from the area amid expectations of impending flooding of the dam within an hour.
