Water Harvesting for Al-Mashare' Jordan

Water harvesting in one of the watersheds in the Northern Jordan Valley, was proposed to contribute to reduce the

water gap and support local livelihood enhancement.

This study is implemented under the regional project NENA-WEPS (GCP/RNE/009/SWE) “Implementing the 2030 Agenda for water efficiency/productivity and water sustainability in NENA countries” which aims to set a proper framework for implementing the 2030 Agenda for water efficiency and productivity (SDG 6.4) through three major work packages: (i) establishing an international standard water accounting system, (ii) implementing a series of interventions to increase water efficiency and productivity, and (iii) ensuring that higher efficiency/productivity achievements for the 2030 time horizon are attained sustainably. Jordan is one of the targeted countries.
