Water excavated is settling behind a sand-dam before being processed at one of the drilling locations.
A true oasis in the desert, billion years old ground water is excavated close to Jordan-Saudi Arabia border, to be pumped along 350 km to the capital city Amman. Truly fascinating experience, almost felt like the movie Armageddon with all the big drilling equipment and the dramatic desert landscape. Managed to also interview a local shepherd and an agro-engineer, both at a very large potato farm nearby that will be shut down as they are forced to close the irrigation wells pumping water from the same aquifer. I think I am very satisfied with todays trip, best tip: wear harder-duty jeans when you plan on going rock climbing in the desert to get the best shot :)

Congratulations Rami!
University of Kentucky’s Christian Student Fellowship went to break the world record for the World’s Largest Water Balloon Fight set in 2010 by students at Brigham Young University. Nearly 9,000 people threw 175,141 jogos de motos water balloons in the fight that took place at the Johnson Center Field at University of Kentucky. No official word from Guinness World Records yet but this seems like a shoe-in for the new record.
