Complaint Project The threshold defined by the
UN for water scarcity is 500,000 liters per person
per year. A Jordanian citizen receives 8,000 liters
of water every two weeks if his house is in the north.
Jordan is the second country with the scarcity of
this basic resource in the world. Added to these
difficulties is the government bureaucracy to gain access to drinking water at a time when the Arab nation is desperately seeking supply. Its annual renewable water resources are less than 100 cubic meters per person. In urban areas, water is usually available once a week and less than once every two weeks in rural areas, with reduced frequency during the summer. To this the few rains that have fallen so far in 2022 in some areas confirm that the country is experiencing its worst summer which has "affected the water reserves of the dams and has resulted in drought in some of them.
