US backs Jordan's National Carrier with billion-dollar support
The United States has allocated $1 billion in funding for Jordan's National Water Transport Project, along with political risk insurance valued at $800 million. The project aims to design, build, and operate a seawater desalination plant and a water transmission system, in addition to a power generation station linked to the project. This initiative is part of efforts to address Jordan's acute water crisis caused by declining rainfall, overexploitation of water resources, deteriorating infrastructure, and population growth. The project is expected to help close 75% of Jordan's water deficit gap by 2040, improve per capita water share, and triple the water availability compared to the Damiya Dam's production, with a target to start water pumping by 2030. The project also includes the establishment of 300 MW solar energy stations to reduce reliance on traditional energy sources.
