Introduction

• Jordan receives rainfall of about 6,000 million
  cubic meters (MCM).
• The Syrian catchments of the Yarmouk river Basin
  receives an additional 2,065 MCM
• annual stream flow, amounting to only about 878
  MCM
• proposed Al-Wehdeh Dam will provide an annual
  safe yield of about 105 MCM, 55 MCM for
  manufacturing
• and the remaining 50 MCM will be used to
  intensify agricultural production in the Jordan
  Valley.

4

• Therefore, Jordan is consider among the poorest
  countries in the world in terms of water
  resources
• more than 90 of Jordan's total area receiving
  less than 200 millimeters rainfall per year
• more than 70 of the country receiving less than
  100 millimeters of precipitation on a year.

5

• Only around 2 of the land area has an annual
  precipitation exceeding 300 millimeters
• renewable fresh water resources, average is
  about 680 MCM per year, or approximately 135 m3
  per capita for all uses.

6
Water supply

• 1- Surface water supply
• Public supply
• The annual supply of surface water is 214.69
  MCM, the Jordan Rift Valley contribute on 108
  MCM, ( 73.5) is allocated for agriculture
  activity.
• all treated waste water is allocated for
  irrigation purpose 75.4 MCM
• Supply water for municipal use 54.4 CM, and
  industrial activity use about 2.5 MCM

2- Ground water supply
The total quantity of ground water is 520 MCM.
The agriculture sector use about 54 of ground
water. The municipal use about 40 of ground
water, and the remain (6) used for industrial
activity.

• The depletion of water is vary from one ground
  water basin to another, in some basin the over
  pumping of ground water exceed 3 times of the
  safe yield, on the other hand the abstraction of
  water from other basins less than the safe yield.

Water use

• The total water use in Jordan increased by more
  than 27,from 639 MCM in 1985 to 810 MCM in 2004
• Water for municipal uses showed the highest
  increase in average annual water consumption (153
  -262 MCM) and contribute on above 32 of total
  water use, and contribute on about 36 of fresh
  water use, it also register the highest increase
  in share of total water use by the time.

14

• Irrigation water for agriculture use 62 during
  2004
• Water use for livestock production has constitute
  only 0.8 of the total water use during 2004.
• The industrial sector contribute on 4.4 of total
  water use .

• The survey on chemical manufacturing provide more
  details of water use by economic activity
• ( ISIC 4 Digit). This data indicate the quantity
  of water use for each activity by supply.

Water supply and water use statistics in
Jordana- administrative recordsb- survey method

• Sample design
• 1-The frame
• The 1999 economic enterprises census.
• 2 stratification
• All enterprises stratified by total revenue into
  3 classes, it classified by paid capital, total
  employee, and it classified by activity 4 digit
  at the region level.

21

• 3 sample design
• All enterprises classified as big enterprises
  were surveyed by complete coverage
• All enterprises with small number surveyed by
  complete coverage.
• The enterprises remained were divided into middle
  and small size. After that in each stratum and in
  each size of enterprises the sampling units were
  selected.

22

• 4-Sample allocation
• The Nyman allocation was applied
• The systematic method was applied after ordering
  all sampling units in each stratum ascending by
  total revenue, to provide implicit stratification
  to increase the efficiency of the design.

23
Difficulties and Problems

• 1- Availability of data
• -  there are many gaps in the administrative
  records.
•     no disaggregating between both public and
  privet sectors.
• - difficult to access to the available data.
•    2- The quality of data
• -the data doesnt comparable among different
  sources of data

24

• 3- The classification of the available data
•     - the ISIC and SNA classifications didnt
  apply in the data base.
• 4- the cost of collecting data by survey method
  is very high.
• 5- huge requirements for any survey.
• 6-This work need skills in both statistics and
  water science which is not available.
