The Akaba Aman Water De-Salination and Conveyance Project: A Solution to Jordan's Water Scarcity

Jordan faces severe water scarcity, with less than 100 cubic meters of freshwater per person per year. To address this issue, the Akaba Aman Water De-Salination and Conveyance Project aims to desalinate water from the Red Sea and transport it 450 kilometers northward to the capital city of Aman. This project will supply 300 million cubic meters of water annually, ensuring a continuous 24/7 water supply for Jordanians and eliminating the need for water rationing. With the implementation of this project, Jordanians will no longer have to rely on limited groundwater and surface water resources, mitigating the effects of climate change, population growth, and non-revenue water losses.
