Interconnected project of energy, water, food, ecosystems inaugurated in Jordan – Roya News English

The Swedish International Cooperation Agency SIDA and the Global Water Partnership (Mediterranean) have jointly inaugurated a project aimed at addressing the climate change crisis in Jordan, which is facing water scarcity due to recurrent droughts and rising temperatures.

The project involves the interconnection of environmental systems, water, energy and food, and was implemented by the Global Water Partnership (Mediterranean) and funded by SIDA through the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) in Jordan.

The project seeks to create a wetland system and nature-based solutions for treating wastewater, enabling the use of wastewater in irrigating crops using solar energy in three farms in the Wadi Shuaib area of Salt Governorate.
