Participatory Irrigation Management Supports Water Security in Jordan
A session at the Climate Change Conference reaffirmed that participatory management of irrigation water is one of the fundamental pillars for enhancing water security in Jordan, especially in light of decreasing rainfall and rising temperatures. The session reviewed the Jordan Valley Authority's experience in developing water management through the involvement of farmers and agricultural associations, which contributed to improved water distribution, reduced losses, increased efficiency in consumption, and support for the agricultural sector in facing climate change challenges. Data indicated the presence of 24 water user associations covering 78% of the agricultural land in the Jordan Valley, with 19 agreements signed to transfer responsibilities aimed at improving performance and providing better services to farmers.
