WES Press Release - Water and Environment Support (WES) project tackles non-revenue water issues through a new activity to allow better use of scarce water resources in Jordan

Jordan ranks as one of the water-poorest countries worldwide, with renewable water resources available per person significantly below the global baseline for absolute water scarcity. While water service coverage reaches 94% of the population (2014), it is estimated that nearly half of this water is non-revenue water (NRW). Within this context, and in support of Jordan’s ongoing efforts to reduce NRW, the EU-funded WES project is launching a national activity on the "Elaboration of non-revenue water policy for Jordan". The activity will be implemented with a view to contribute to meeting the Jordanian population’s needs in water, through the protection and more sustainable management of this scarce resource.
