This book gives a detailed account of the scarce water resources of
Jordan, with a focus on their quantities, quality, and use for
different sectors. It details the political, social, and economic
dimensions of the scarce water resources along with their
implications on Jordan's cooperation with its neighbors. The book
includes implemented projects of dams, canals, water supply
networks, waste water treatment, and more. It gives an overview of
which projects have been successful and which have failed to
achieve their purposes and why. Shared water with other countries
and their developmental implications to the water sector are
discussed and future water supply projects, such as the Red
Sea-Dead Sea conduit project, are elaborated on. The book also
touches upon the waves of refugees and their impact on the water
sector and water strategies in Jordan.
