Jordanian experts told Al-Ghad that the success of establishing the
banks depended on if the projects being funded would be decided on by the concerned
countries.
A specialized international report published by Directions Magazine,
stressed the importance of improving internationals efforts to spot and
determine the levels of groundwater, especially in areas with a high risk of drought.
The report, entitled, “Water Data Power” also stressed the
importance of ongoing satellite missions in monitoring the groundwater, rising sea
levels, and water and climate changes.
For her part, former secretary general of the ministry of
water
and irrigation, Maysoon Al-Zoubi, told Al-Ghad that a key factor for the
success of an international water bank would be for it to remain “neutral”.
Former minister of water and irrigation, Hazim Al-Naser said that
“97 percent of those interested in the water sector have indicated that the
bank is very important for the Middle East in particular.”
