  12. Base line Scenario • The basin is the most important basin in Jordan as it host more then 50% of the population. • The water resources system in the basin is very complicated as it consist of: • Groundwater for domestic, industry and agriculture • Inter basin transfer of groundwater for domestic uses • Pumping of surface water to Amman for domestic uses • Desalination of brackish water for Domestic and industry • Treatment of surface water for domestic • Wastewater treatment plant that discharge to river • Runoff water or catchments contribution to the river.

  13. The water quality issues due to the effluent coming out of the 4 treatment plants of BOD5 > 60 have created a quality issue for irrigation.

  14. Building the Baseline Scenario

  15. Stakeholders workshop

  16. The number of participants in this workshop was 30 persons representing all stakeholders that were already identified for the project and 9 from the University of Jordan and 3 from C zero. • They represent decision making bodies (Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Environment and Jordan Meteorological Department), research and academic institutions, industries, farmers, water distributing company, civil societies and NGOs. Most of the participants are at mid-level or high level management.

  17. The opinion of stakeholders to the most important problems.

  18. List of the most important objectives and votes of stakeholders

  19. Planned Action • The focal point for planned action was the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWI). A discussion was made between the different participants and decision makers and experts from the MWI. The planned actions that were formally approved by the MWI and might affect future optimization of water resources in the basin can be summarized as: • Additional Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP) at Zarqa, west of Jarash and other sites within the basin. • Upgrade and expansion of existing WWTP's. • Reduction in groundwater extraction for irrigation and municipal use (by law). • Reallocation of water to high value products (industry and Municipal) • Conveyance of Disi water to Amman. • Desalinization of Zara-Ma'een and Abu Zighan water. • Red Sea- Dead Sea Canal (after 2020).
