Mahamid stressed the ministry’s commitment to
benefiting from Hungarian expertise, noting that the water sector is keen on
modifying its services and investment policies to raise capacities in various
institutions.
The ministry, he said, began drafting a national
strategy to provide additional unconventional water sources, expand sewage
networks and treat wastewater.
In light of the decrease in groundwater, the
ministry saw the Aqaba-Amman desalination and water transport project is a
strategy venture to meet rising water demand, Mahamid pointed out.
He said the ministry focuses on conducting long-term
plans to meet water needs, mainly during crises, and reduce energy costs,
commending Hungarian support and saying he looked forward to closer
cooperation.
For his part, Kali underscored Hungary’s commitment
to boosting cooperation with the Kingdom in various sectors, namely water and
treated water reuse programs, lauding the water sector’s efforts in light of
the pressures Jordan is facing in this field.
