Agriculture and Environment Review;The Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture is a critical evaluation
of the benefits, costs, and impacts of the past 50 years of water development, the
water management challenges communities face today, and the solutions people have developed
around the world. It is a multi-institute process aimed at assessing the current
state of knowledge and stimulating ideas on how to manage water resources to meet the
growing needs for agricultural products, to help reduce poverty and food insecurity, and
to contribute to environmental sustainability. The findings will enable better investment
and management decisions in water and agriculture in the near future by considering their
impact over the next 50 years.

Agriculture and environment Review;The bio geography of Jordan exhibits pronounced regional differentiation due to climatic variation, diverse geography, and the intersection of three distinct faunal elements: the Ethiopian, Oriental,
and Palearctic. The result is a surprising diversity of wildlife in Jordan, despite its relatively small
size. Nonetheless, the total number of species is limited and remains vulnerable to land use
impacts of development and the stresses from living in a predominantly arid and desert
environment. The lack of natural barriers between Jordan and surrounding countries allows
animals to move fairly freely from one country to another. Consequently, there are relatively few
species that are considered “endemic” and only found in Jordan

Agriculture and Environment Review;The threats to Jordan’s water supply from over-pumping of its aquifers are detailed in scientific and
development planning documents dating back over two decades. In summary, Jordan is over-pumping
80% more water every year than the safe yield, and the imbalance is worsening because of population
increases (estimated to double over the next 25 years) and precipitation decreases caused by climate
change (estimated to at 50% in this century). The negative economic, social, and environmental
consequences of continued depletion of Jordan’s aquifers are difficult to project, but are clearly serious.

Agriculture & Environment Review;Groundwater from the Amman Zarqa Basin (AZB) is an important and valuable natural
resource. Water from the Basin is being seriously over-abstracted. Consequently, the water
table is dropping and water quality is declining. This threatens the durability of one of the
principal sources of M&I supply for the Amman area, and is thus of strategic importance to
Jordan. Irrigation, which is generally thought to be a relatively low-value use, accounts for
about half of current abstraction.

Agriculture and Environment Review; The Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWI) within the Government of Jordan
has recognized water as a scarce resource critical to the future growth of the
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan - a view that is shared by other parts of the
government. MWI has requested the 2030 Water Resources Group (WRG), an
innovative public-private partnership between the International Finance Corporate,
McKinsey & Company, Nestle, Veolia and experts from Harvard University, to
prepare a proposal which will bring global expertise in water resource management
and solutions to support the water sector in Jordan. The end objective of the exercise
will be to prioritise the entire set of solutions available to Jordan and review the
current action and investment plans to create a roadmap for implementation of
solutions in Jordan

Agriculture and Environment Review, Within the component ‘Efficient Water Resources Management in Irrigated Agriculture’ (WMIA) of
the Jordanian-German Water Program, gtz ,and JVA have published the ‘Guidelines for Reclaimed
Water Irrigation in the Jordan Valley’. The main recommendation of the guidelines is that farmers can
save an enormous amount of money by adjusting amount and type fertilizer to the real needs of the
plants. At the moment almost all farmers use two to four times more fertilizer than needed, as they do
not consider the nutrient contents in the irrigation water and the soil. In addition, they usually apply
more than the plant would need – to be on the safe side.
