Work at the Wadi Dayqah dam site in Oman is progressing as per schedule with the first phase of the main water pipeline project almost 50 per cent completed, said a report.

The project involves the creation of water pipeline from Wadi Dayqah dam in Quriyat to Diem tank in the wilayat of Amerat and distribution of water across a distance of 117 km, reported the Oman Observer.

It contains two main lines - the first about 15-km long with pipe size of 1,200 mm and the other about 35-km long with a 1,600 mm pipe - along with other sub-lines, it stated.

Work on some sub-networks have also been completed which now supply and distribute water in a number of villages in Quriyat, it added.
