Last update: 4 hours agoWater Security: Jordan’s water loss reduction is now being framed as a core national priority, not just an operational fix, with experts warning that cutting losses to 25% by 2040 will only work if savings are sustained—especially as costly desalinated water is expected to enter the network.
