Water Crisis in Jordan: Causes, Consequences, and Solutions
The water crisis in Jordan is primarily due to water shortage, with the Jordan River running nearly dry. This crisis has severe consequences, including rapidly decreasing water resources, leading to a water stress crisis. However, solutions such as reservoirs, rainwater harvesting, and water conservation can help mitigate the situation.

WHAT IS WATER CRISIS? AND WHAT ARE CAUSES OF WATER CRISIS IN JORDAN. It is a crisis of managing water so badly that billions of people - and the environment - suffer badly." (https://www.worldwatercouncil.org/en/water- crisis#:~:text=It%20is%20a%20crisis%20of,the%20crisis%20to%20be%20worsening. One of the main causes of water crisis in Jordan is water shortage Its happening because THE COUNTRY'S NAMESAKE RIVER IS NEARLY RUNNING DRY. THE FLOW IN THE JORDAN RIVER IS LESS THAN 10 PERCENT OF ITS HISTORICAL AVERAGE, (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/09/world/middleeast/jordan-water-cop- 27.html#:~:text=The%20country's%20namesake%20river%20is,saltwater%20lake%20that%20is %20disappearing.)
WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF WATER CRISIS IN JORDAN WATER RECOURSES ARE RAPIDLY DECREASING IT S A WATER STRESS CRISIS THAT WOULD LEAD DOWN TO BREAK DOWN DURING THE UPCOMING YEARS IN JORDAN (HTTPS://WWW.UNICEF.ORG/JORDAN/WATER-STRESS-JORDAN-EXECUTIVE- SUMMARY#:~:TEXT=WATER%20SHORTAGES%20COULD%20HAVE%20A,GDP%20AND%2070%25%20O F%20EMPLOYMENT.)
WHAT ARE THE SOULUTIONS RESERVOIRS (ARTIFICIAL LAKES) THAT FORM BEHIND DAMS IN RIVERS CAN COLLECT WATER DURING WET TIMES AND STORE IT FOR USE IT FOR DRY TIMES RAINWATER HARVESTING INVOLVES CATCHING AND STORING RAINWATER BEFORE IT REACHES THE GROUND. WATER CONSERVATION REFERS TO USING LESS WATER AND USING IT MORE EFFICIENTLY.

CONCLUSION WATER CRISIS IS THE BAD MANAGEMENT OF WATER. JORDAN IS SUFFERINGFROM WATER CRISIS AND ONE OF REASONS IS WATER SHORTAGE, JORDAN IS FACING CONSEQUENCES INCLUDING DECREASING IN WATER RESOURCES. SOME WATER CRISIS SOLUTIONS: RAIN WATER HARVESTING WHICH IS COLLECTING WATER BEFORE IT REACHES THE GROUND ANOTHER SOLUTION IS WATER CONSERVATION WHICH IS USING WATER MORE EFFICIENLY
