Non-Revenue Water Activity (MESC)
Jordan loses over 50 percent of its precious water to non-revenue water (NRW). NRW is water loss in the system due to illegal theft, leakage, or inaccurate metering. The NRW activity will support the GOJ to achieve the ambitious targets from the National Water Strategy of reducing NRW by 3 to 6 percent per year. The end goal is an overall reduction of 25 percent nationally by the year 2025.USAID investments in NRW will improve drinking water availability and cost recovery for Jordanian water utilities.
Activity Description
The activity focuses on improving residential municipal water service delivery for densely populated areas in Amman, Zarqa, Madaba, and Aqaba by reducing NRW. USAID works to reduce NRW through partnering directly with the water utilities, Miyahuna and Aqaba Water Company, to rehabilitate and upgrade deteriorating physical infrastructure, as well as to strengthen the management and operations of water utilities.
