Process step | Hazardous event | Hazard type |
Catchment | High turbidity in Azraq Spring and probability for Pollution due to the flow of rainwater in the valleys that lead to the spring during the winter | Microbial chemical physical |
contamination of Azraq Spring due to the leakage and flood of sewage lines and drains due to the overload of the connections which causes by the population increase in the area and the connection of rain water to the sewage network, causing infiltration of wastewater to the karst aquifer | Microbial chemical physical | |
Pollution of Azraq Spring due to active and non-active cesspits present in the catchment area causing infiltration of wastewater to the karst aquifer which influence the spring water | Microbial chemical physical | |
Pollution of Azraq Spring due to the presence of flat and fractures in the lift line leading to the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), Mahesh and Fuhais | Microbial, chemical physical | |
Pollution of Azraq Spring due to flooding in the lift station as a result of overload due to the connection of rain water to the sewage network | Microbial chemical physical | |
Pollution of Azraq Spring due to the infiltration of fertilizers, pesticides from agricultural activities in the area to the shallow water basin | Microbial chemical physical | |
Pollution of Azraq Spring because of animal waste from barns and sheep grazing areas to the shallow water basin | Microbial chemical physical | |
Pollution of Azraq Spring due to spilling of industrial Wastewater from fuel station and car washing | Microbial chemical physical | |
Treatment | Contamination in the outlet from the MF unit due to the failure of the filter membranes | Physical Microbial |
The probability of exceeding the reference limits of the Jordanian standard of water produced due to decrease the intensity of radiation and the dose of disinfectant and low efficiency of purification of raw water from the ultraviolet sterilization unit because bulbs are not cleaned or lamps come near the shelf life | Microbial | |
Shortage of production quantities of the station to disable the work of air valves, which leads to high pressure of the unit and stop automatically due to the failure of the air-feeding system of the air valves in the MF filter unit | physical | |
Distribution | Increase in turbidity due to withdrawal of soil to the network due to fractures in it | physical |
Pollution of water due to the flood of sewage manhole that result from the clogging of sewage networks | Microbial chemical physical | |
Pollution of water due to accumulation of soil and sediments at the end of the lines, especially in low areas | Microbial physical | |
High water turbidity due to the entry of soil to the network through broken pipes, due to maintenance of damaged networks, which include repair or replacement of main lines | physical |
