Falaj Al Khatmain is considered a Dawoodi falaj in the Interior region. The
total length of the falaj from the mother
well up to Sharia (the point at which water
first appears on the surface of the earth) is
about 2,450 meters with mother well depth
of 17.5 meters. It has no sub-branches and
is fed by wadi Al Maiden, one of the most
important wadis which springs from the
foothill of Al Jebal Al akhdar and flowing
in a semi circle to its branches on the outs
skirts of the villages surrounding the cultivated areas. It is most characterized by its
three equal water divisions at the Sharia,
when three equal balls are thrown prior
to the dividing point; each ball is carried
away in the three channels indicating the ingenuity of the falaj design
