In a press
interview, reported by Jordan News Agency, Petra, Head of Miyahuna’s Zarqa
Directorate, Youssef Al-Aitan, said that the
Aqaba-Amman desalination and water
transport project, expected to be ready by 2027, will provide safe and reliable
fresh water supplies to Amman and other governorates along the route of the
carrier line.
Speaking on the
governorate’s current water situation, Aitan noted that pumping has now been
completed from four public wells in
Zarqa, with an estimated quantity of 600
cubic meters of water per hour, while more than 10 private wells have been
purchased and operated to provide about 1,200 cubic meters of water per hour,
indicating that the focus was on using semi-independent water supply sources
located in the Azraq water basin.
He pointed to the
directorate’s efforts to cut water losses and the illegal uses of water through
launching security campaigns, installing accurate smart water meters, as well
as replacing the old water networks and pumps.
