local media reports.
More than half of the quantities of drinking water in Jordan are lost due to illegal uses, unauthorized water extraction, vandalism, and water leakage from the existing water networks.
The situation
has prompted the ministry to outline its
National Water Strategy for 2023–2040,
which focuses on the integrated management of water resources to protect the
water aquifers and surface water. This requires strict compliance and
enforcement of all laws and regulations to preserve these
precious water resources and their use.
The
National Water Strategy also includes specific actions to address critical
issues in the
management of the water sector in Jordan. These include financial
performance and sustainability, data-driven decision-making, innovation and
technology, energy use, water efficiency, and climate change.
