Humeima/Auara (Jordan)

Roman reservoir

Roman reservoir within the Roman fort of Humeima / Auara, Jordan, view to the NE measured exactly 100 x 50 x 10 Roman feet (capacity 1250 m3). This basin was fed by the 'Ain el-Qanah aqueduct which entered the reservoir from the NW but here ploughing had obliterated all traces of the 100m long conduit to the intersection with the main line.
