Al-Faiz urges efficient winter water use
The Chairman of the Senate, Faisal Faiez, emphasized the importance of conserving water as a key component of Jordan's national security. This can be achieved through the effective utilization of groundwater and surface water, as well as avoiding waste during the winter season. He called for the implementation of future projects similar to the National Water Transmission Project, with a focus on seawater desalination and the exploitation of groundwater resources. The goal is to address water shortages resulting from population growth and climate change, improve water use efficiency, and expand water harvesting projects and earthen dams. Additionally, he stressed the importance of leveraging renewable energy to reduce pumping and desalination costs. He underscored the need to repair infrastructure, minimize water losses from leaks and illegal connections, and expand sewage and treatment networks for agricultural use. Furthermore, he advocated for re-evaluating the priorities of water consumption across different sectors to ensure sustainable management.
