This came during the International Cooperation
Forum, recently held in Switzerland, which brought together more than 1,600
global experts to search for ways out of the water and climate change crises.
Alaween, who is a regional water advisor for the
Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation told Petra on Monday that he was
chosen to take part in the forum as a speaker for the
Middle East, where he
tackled the challenges of joint water management in light of climate change, as
well as prospects of cooperation.
“I delivered a study on the joint
Yarmouk River Basin between Jordan and Syria, indicating the need to seal fair and
sustainable bilateral agreements so that not only water, but also the benefits
of joint water management such as energy and eco-tourism, are shared,” he added.
The Jordanian expert also reviewed the standard
acceptable international agreements for the management of joint basins, which
shall be taken into consideration to ensure their continuity.
