This reality is based off the water conveyance project that will transport brackish water from the Gulf of Aqaba to the Dead Sea in an 8 meter diameter pipe to Amman.
Against that background, Jordan is betting heavily on a major pipeline, the Disi Water Conveyance Project, which is expected to start carrying water next year to the capital, Amman, from deep underground sources in southern Jordan, which the country shares with Saudi Arabia.
A massive conveyance project pumps fossil water from deep below the earth's surface at the Disi Aquifer (situated to the east of Aqaba, and lying primarily beneath Saudi Arabia) all the way to Amman, making the entire country interconnected and interdependent upon somewhat fragile water infrastructures.
The Disi Water Conveyance Project is a water supply project in Jordan.
The Disi Water Conveyance project was first proposed in the 1990s, but was initially regarded as too expensive.
More recently, NomoGaia piloted a tool for evaluating the human rights implications of the Disi Water Conveyance Project in Jordan.
There is no formal agreement between the countries regarding the water and the Disi Water Conveyance Project is being constructed without Saudi consultation or involvement.
If the non-revenue water problem remains, it is possible that a large portion of the water provided by the Disi Water Conveyance project will also be lost as it is piped through Amman.
Beyond high-speed rail, Brown has the rest of an expansive programmatic reform agenda to keep pushing in his final term, some mid-course adjustments (no Sacramento River Delta pumps on his big water conveyance project, for example), a few crises to handle, and some decisions to make about any new issues.
This information will prove to be useful for water-use efficiency of the Ecological Water Conveyances Project (EWCP) conducted in the basin.
