Water Carrier Rollout Begins
The Jordanian government, represented by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, will begin implementing the National Water Carrier project on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at an estimated total cost of approximately $5.8 billion. The project will desalinate 300 million cubic meters of Red Sea water annually in Aqaba and transport it through pipelines stretching about 450 kilometers, supplying nearly 40% of the kingdom’s drinking-water needs. Implementation is expected to take about four years, with water pumping set to begin in the fourth quarter of 2030. The project will increase the annual per-capita water allocation from 60 to 110 cubic meters.
