Abstract

Jordan is an arid to semi-arid country. Its population has has risen over the past few decades, which places an enormous pressure on water resources. Water resources in Jordan consist primarily of surface and groundwater, while treated wastewater is being used on an increasing scale for irrigation, mostly in the JordanValley. Over the past decades, the government has developed surface water resource management schemes that included the construction of dams and irrigation projects in the Jordan Valley. The future of the agricultural sector in Jordan heavily depends on future plans for water resource management to meet irrigation requirements.
