We have visited 7 weather stations and water level stations as well. Three field surveys in Jordan have been conducted the 1st survey on 3-9 August, 2nd survey 24-28 August, and the 3rd 24-27 October, 2019. A group of researchers of Kyoto University in collaboration with Nippon Koei company conducted a preparatory field surveys and meetings for facts findings and establish of cooperative research project. Within the framework of the UNESCO WHS we have selected Petra in Jordan and Valley of King in Egypt as two potential sites for investigations. 2018, which happened at Wadi Zarqa-Maeen and discharging its water to the Dead Sea, caused 21 deaths including 16 school children.
The last fatal flash flood struck Petra in 1963 when 22 French tourists and a local guide were killed by rapidly rising waters. Sirens blared minutes before extreme flash flood after heavy rainfall approached the Petra. In 2018, Wadi flooding trapped tourists and forced 3,000 tourists to evacuate to safe places within 1 hour before the peak flood reached to the historic site of Petra, Jordan. For instance, flash floods hit Egypt, Jordan, and Sau di Arabia, 39 times over the period of 1900–2016 causing life losses of 1,508 and significant damages exceeding 1.8 billion US dollars. Recently, extreme and frequent wadi flash floods have occurred in most of MENA arid zone, resulting in significant economic and property loses.
