The
Disi Basin holds a significant strategic importance for
Jordan, and its water stands out for its high quality, characterized by
low salt content. The water quality in the basin surpasses the specifications of
waters in advanced countries. This information is based on previous statements
made by the Ministry of Water.
The basin plays a crucial role in supplying the kingdom with
100 million cubic meters of
high-quality fresh water annually. This helps in
reducing the need to draw extensively from other primary underground water
sources. Additionally, it increases the distribution hours of clean water to
citizens, thereby alleviating the strain on
water resources in other provinces
that supply water to Amman and Zarqa.
