Ministry, USAID ink deal to increase funding to combat water loss
AMMAN — Minister of Water and Irrigation Mohammad Najjar and USAID Mission Director Sherry Carlin on Tuesday signed an agreement to increase the funding of a grant the agency had previously pledged to Jordan to address water loss from $152 million to $227 million.
A Water Ministry statement said that the total value of the three grants from the US agency to address water loss in the Kingdom now stands at $437 million.
The funds will be used to improve the performance and efficiency of the use of water resources, as well as to improve the infrastructure of water networks by increasing the capacity of the water supply system, with the goal of eventually reducing water losses by 2 per cent annually.
