This activity will assist a selected public water utility to target Non-Revenue Water (NRW) reduction and advance their efforts to improve Non-Revenue Water monitoring and management.
In Jordan, a transition away from Single-Use plastics is urgently needed in order to protect the environment. WES will provide support to the country's green and circular economy agenda and provide a Roadmap for the transition away from Single-Use Plastics (SUPs) at household and commercial levels.
This WES activity will support the MoE in the implementation of the Green Economy roadmap and green investment opportunities in the waste sector in Jordan by focusing on the issues of Single-Use Plastics and promotion of Green Banking.
The rapid urban growth in Jordan is accompanied by a reduction of recharge to the groundwater sources and an increase in storm water flows. Because of a lack of natural infiltration areas for water, there is a severe loss of water yields to groundwater adding to the water scarcity in the country. This activity will identify appropriate Natural Water Retention Measures to be implemented in two pilot zones.
WES is to support Jordan and Morocco in designing a national public awareness campaign (for each country) to inform consumers (and other stakeholders) about the environmental impacts of SUPs, the need to change consumption behaviour and what the competent authorities are doing in this direction.
