Project

The water supply system in Deir Alla and Al Karameh areas was constructed in 1974, and is presently worn out and severely deteriorated resulting in very high Non-Revenue Water. Furthermore, there is no sewerage collection system and sanitation is limited to septic tanks.

To address the water supply and sanitation shortcomings, a feasibility study for the upgrade of the existing water supply system and the provision of a new wastewater collection system is proposed. The study is financed by the European Investment Bank (EIB), and is aimed at determining the technical, economic, financial, social, and environmental feasibility of the proposed upgrade works that would be serving a population of 88,000 people at year 2035.

• Review of legal and institutional framework governing TSE and TS reuse.
• Review of current TSE and TS reuse practices in Jordan
• Identifying various TSE and TS reuse applications within the project area
• Determining TSE and TS production and demand forecast
• Development of alternative plans for managing the TSE and TS reuse
• Conducting multi criteria comparative analysis for determining the preferred TSE and TS management solution.
