Through Private Sector Participation, WES is aiming to increase financial ability for self-finance and enable applying the tariffs
The current WES activity is focusing on increasing the knowledge of the relevant authorities responsible for monitoring irrigation projects and irrigation savings with the aim to enable them to train farmers and Water Users Association in optimal irrigation water management.
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 will support Israel to assess and to inventorise or map potential retention areas and to propose a management plan for the utilisation of the retained volumes. It will enrich the knowledge and know-how of storm water management in urban areas, to review best management practices and to learn from designing Natural Water Retention Measures in two pilot cases.
WES will assist Egypt in the development of financing mechanisms allowing the private sector to be involved and to improve water network management and resource efficiency at the on-farm level. The aim of this activity will be to contribute to increasing agricultural water productivity.
This activity will assist a selected public water utility (l’Algérien Des Eaux – ADE) to target the reduction of non-revenue water (NRW) and continue its efforts to improve the management of NRW.
WES is to build the capacity of PCs on Water Demand Management as a mean to influence the water demand and usage of water to meet any of the following objectives and/or combination of them: economic efficiency, social development, social equity, environmental protection, sustainability of water supply and services, and political acceptability.

WES is to introduce the concept of Water Harvesting as an alternative and efficient tool to minimize flood risk and increase the potential for water storage whether on the surface or in the aquifer.
