Tapped out - The costs of water stress in Jordan

This report aims to provide a high-level overview of tangible economic and social costs that water stress and scarcity impose on Jordan’s population. The research aims to empirically explore and identify relationships between water stress and various socio economic outcomes to inform a policy and expert discourse and further research. It does not provide a definitive account of the exact cost of and solutions to Jordan’s water crisis. The results of the modelling analysis presented in this report should therefore be treated with caution, as indicative of the potential impacts associated with water stress (please see detailed methodology in the Appendix).
