Water Security for Jordan
The article presents water security as a cornerstone of Jordan’s stability. It notes that the Economic Modernization Vision aims to diversify water sources, desalinate seawater, reduce water losses, and promote sustainable use, while implementing the National Water Carrier project between Aqaba and Amman. During 2026–2030, plans aim to increase the annual per capita water share from 61 to 150 cubic metres, close the 400-million-cubic-metre gap between supply and demand, raise water supply to 72–96 hours per week, and reduce water losses to 38% before water begins flowing through the carrier. The article also calls for emergency plans to address drought and the disruption of water sources, expanded partnerships with the private sector, and priority for water-poor governorates in projects and distribution.
