Integrated Low Emission Approach for Efficient Use of Reclaimed Wastewater in the Agricultural Sector in Jordan

The government of Jordan prioritized alternative strategies to treat wastewater to secure water resources needed for the agricultural sector aiming to increase farmer's resilience toward climate change, and to cope the increasing demands over limited water resources. Despite the progress made in Jordan in treating wastewater, almost 91% of this reclaimed wastewater is discharged into wadis that eventually flow to the Jordan Valley. The Government of Jordan wishes to use this treated water for agiruclture purposes so a key issue is to see how water needs can be met by balancing demands for agriculture without drying up river flows.. This project will develop an integrated low-emission water management approach for the efficient use of reclaimed wastewater. IUCN ROWA will execute the project with a consortium of partners
