Safe Use of Treated Wastewater in Agriculture  

The utilization of recycled water within Jordan has been made possible by the development and evolution of a sound legislative and legal foundation. There are several sets of standards that have paved the way. These include the first law regarding the operation of municipal sewer systems, which was first established in 1955, and the original public health standards first enacted in 1971. Today there are several sets of standards and guidelines for wastewater, sludge, soil and crops that were derived from the work of the Water Authority of Jordan and the Ministry of Water and Irrigation.
