Consultancy services for the project Strong Water Utilities in Jordan
Chronic water scarcity is one of the key obstacles to Jordan"s development. Efforts to reform the supply situation in recent years have been outweighed by the effects of a growing population and high demand. This rapid population growth, along with agricultural expansion and the impacts of global climate change, have increased the pressure on Jordan"s scarce water resources, which have been heavily overused for years. The effects of climate change will significantly reduce the available water resources over the next 20 years (15% by 2040). Also, energy costs for the water sector have increased with the costs of operation reaching more than 50 per cent of the water sector bill in 2021. In the new Jordanian Water Strategy (National Water Strategy 2023 – 2040), measures have been formulated for more efficient management of water resources. Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ), and Water Utilities (WU) now have binding targets for reducing energy costs and water losses (2% per year).
