Jordan Resolves Water Crisis with Nalaq Project
Jordan is currently implementing a strategic project to enhance its water security by establishing the "National Conveyance System" for desalinating Red Sea water in Aqaba, with plans to begin water pumping by the end of 2030. The project, which costs approximately $5.8 billion, aims to produce around 300 million cubic meters annually, accounting for about 40% of the country's drinking water needs. It strengthens Jordan's water independence and alleviates pressure on underground aquifers. The project includes a large pumping station and pipelines extending 450 kilometers, facing challenges related to energy, which are addressed by integrating a renewable energy component to reduce operational costs. This step is a significant move to confront the severe water crisis in the country and to increase the per capita water share from about 60 to 110 cubic meters annually.
