WES to support Jordan in exploring the potential of Natural Water Retention Measures
ATHENS, Monday, December 21, 2020 (WAFA) - The European Union-funded regional Water and Environment Support project (WES) has just started supporting Jordan in exploring the potential of Natural Water Retention Measures (NRWM), today said a WES press release.
According to Professor Michael Scoullos, team leader of WES, the project will support Jordan in adopting good practices from other countries and to determine which measures are most appropriate to apply in the country.
Water scarcity in Jordan is increasingly getting more severe, with annual per capita shares of renewable freshwater resources being less than 60 m3 per capita. This is partly due to the semi-arid climate of Jordan, compounded with high population growth rates. According to the World Health Organisation, Jordan will enter a state of extreme water poverty by 2025 if no major advancements are made.
