Asian Bank funds Aqaba-Amman desalination project
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has approved a financing of $250 million to support the National Water Carrier project, which involves desalination and water transfer from Aqaba to Amman in Jordan. The project aims to improve water supplies by establishing a seawater desalination plant in Aqaba, a 438-kilometer-long transfer pipeline, and a 281-megawatt solar power plant to generate approximately 300 million cubic meters of drinking water annually. This project is the largest of its kind in the country's history and is expected to cover around 40% of Jordan’s water needs, contributing to strengthening water security amid increasing challenges.
