to provide sanitation services, according to Salameh, who noted that the
ministry will implement a large number of sanitation projects in large areas of
the Kingdom next year.

project related to sewage water, and that Jordan spent JD5 billion in the past
10 years on the water sector and the expansion of the sewage services.
