Jordan faces water challenges that require a shift in strategies for handling available resources. Amid rising demand and limited sources, rationalizing consumption and managing water demand in the Kingdom are no longer merely procedures to reduce usage, but have become a fundamental pillar and an authentic component of the national water security system.
Embodying this approach, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, through the Water Demand Directorate and with support from the U.S. government, is leading an integrated water auditing program in public institutions. The program seeks to assess consumption, apply effective water-saving mechanisms, and measure the volume of savings achieved to raise efficiency of use. The project targets 160 government buildings and public facilities distributed across various governorates of the Kingdom, including schools, mosques, municipalities, universities, ministries, and rehabilitation centers.
