The water ponds in Maqal, Wadi Bani Khalid in North Sharqiyah Governorate, are characterized by their continuous flow throughout the year. The water of these ponds, which is about 8 kilometers from the center of the state, is distributed over a few aflaj, such as Al-Haili and Al-Farda, to irrigate fields and agricultural orchards and to provide the water stock needed to irrigate the plantations and palm trees in the valley.
