This has been the rainiest spring Jordan has had in about twenty years. This photo shows green hills and an olive grove. Usually, these hills are brown, but the spring rain has brought lots of green--just in time for St. Patrick's Day. In the center of the photo, you will see a lake. This is one of the main dammed water sources for Jordan. Even with the heavy rain, it is currently at just over 60% capacity. But, that is considered a very good water storage level. Last year at this time, the water level was at about 37% of capacity. Jordan is the 4th poorest country in the world in terms of water.
