【Introduction of the project】
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a serious shortage of water resources country, and 75% of the land is belonging to desert areas with an annual rainfall of less than 200 mm and an extremely low annual water supply per capita is 2% of the world average.
The Ain Al-Basha District where the project is located adjacent to the capital city of Amman and is situated in rugged landscape basin at an altitude of 500 m to 900 m above sea level. The area is one of the largest Palestinian refugee camps in the country and refugees from the civil war in neighboring Syria is increasing rapidly. and one of the poorest, most densely populated and poorest living conditions in the country.
However, despite population has growing rapidly, the water transmission and distribution network has not been redeveloped over the past 25 years. As a results, there are problems such as high non-revenue water rates above the national average, high electricity consumption due to excessive pumping, deterioration of water quality due to abrasion and corrosion of water networks and water leakage due to overage.
The Water distribution system has changed from a pumping system, which was inefficiently operated due to excessive water pressure and excessive power consumption, to a gravity system through this project such as transmission mains, distribution mains, distribution reservoir, pressure reducing valve chamber, flow meter chamber, etc.
As a result, improved water supply system and relaxation of water shortages by optimizing water pressure, extending water supply time, improving water quality, reducing the non-revenue water rate and increasing the efficiency of power consumption.
After the project was completed, received high praise and gratitude from the residents, as they were able to provide a stable supply of water to areas on higher area where it had not been possible to distribute water before.
