National water strategy 2023 – 2040
This vision reflects the steps towards addressing our unprecedented water scarcity challenges.
Demographic changes, rapid population growth, climate change impacts, chronic overuse of
groundwater, and ongoing reliance on transboundary water are driving an urgent need to increase
available water supplies and better manage current water resources. Jordan currently has 61 cubic
meters of renewable fresh water available per capita per year, which is far less than the 500 cubic
meters per capita annually that is internationally recognized as the absolute water scarcity line.
As our existing renewable water resources are declining, increasing supplies through
non-conventional sources have become a critical necessity. The most important and vital supply will
be secured through the new National Conveyance Project, along with significant expansion of treated
wastewater for reuse in irrigation.
Increasing the supply alone does not ensure water security. We strongly commit to making the best
possible use of every drop of water we have by reducing losses from leakage and illegal use called
non-revenue water to 25 percent by 2040 while increasing efficiencies in water operations.
Additionally, work with water consumers and partners will be continued, aiming at improving water
use efficiency, and subsequently increasing economic value of each cubic meter of water used. These
actions are accompanied by measures to strengthen the financial performance of the sector and
improve cost recovery, especially as the cost of water development, treatment, and service delivery
continue to rise significantly.
Central to our strategy is to ensure that a strong foundation for sector governance, management and
operation is put in place. This strategy modernizes existing water sector institutions and restructures
them in order to streamline operations, ring-fence costs, and better allocate institutional
responsibilities. Greater corporate autonomy will be instituted for the water companies while
simultaneously strengthening corporate oversight through an independent regulatory body that
monitors and publicly reports on water and wastewater service levels.
People are at the center of our management and operations strategy which includes strengthening
career development and attracting youth and women to the sector as our next generation leaders.
This strategy introduces measures and technologies needed to ensure that accurate and validated
data is readily available, and information transparently disseminated, to decision makers and the
public.
