Demand Management for Water Resources in the Irrigation and Population Sectors in Jordan
Journal Title: Journal of Sustainable Development in Social and Environmental Sciences - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The Jordanian irrigation sector is one of the largest sectors consuming water. In view of the water crisis in Jordan, Jordan is considered one of the leading countries in the use of treated water for agriculture, while water harvesting is a complementary source for water needs in agriculture. As for managing the demand for drinking water, water wastage is considered one of the most economically feasible measures, but it is not exploited. It is possible to activate demand management through a gradual water tariff for large consumers, and provide incentives to reduce water consumption. Adopting innovations, unconventional entrepreneurial ideas, and modern technology (smart meters, leak detection devices, and aquaculture) is one of the measures that will activate the water demand management approach. Adopting a water demand management approach requires combining different solutions, measures, and methods, which in turn requires concerted efforts to recognize the real need for the required and available water. Accordingly, there is a clear vision regarding demand management, which helps in attracting the required investments, and achieving a balance between the supply and demand departments.
