Water Account

• The main input for water resources is
  precipitation and inflow from other territories.
  The main natural flows that decrease the stock
  are evaporation and outflow to other territories.
• The price of water provide inadequate indicator
  on its economic value. This situation is
  applicable to Jordan because of water scarcity.
  The monetary value of water used in different
  sectors of industry, services, transportation and
  construction are available depending on water
  price considering the water as commodity enter in
  production process

Difficulties in Environmental Statistic Division

• 1. Deficiency in detailed data related to natural
  resources ex. Water asset account describe stock
  at the beginning and end of an accounting period
  which is not available
• 2. Need of specialized studies related to
  degradation and pollution of resources which is
  expensive (effect of air pollution on health and
  valuation of water in agriculture depending on
  change in productivity approach)
• 3. Fear of under or over estimating of a resource
• 4. Training on calculation methodologies

19
The potential implementation of the SEEAW

• The implementation of the SEEAW will take place
  in the planned situation if the stuff given
  adequate training in the account methodologies,
  decide tow employees to work full time for this
  topic and has enough money for the working group
• The priority in environment division is for
  sustainable indicators in water, energy, air
  pollution and biodiversity statistic

20
Jordan Situation

• In Jordan several specific studies takes place in
  universities to evaluate natural resources such
  as coral reef in Aqaba gulf. Surveys were
  conducted to ask target people (tourists) about
  willingness to pay for visiting Aqaba and
  interesting in diving and coral reef view (Travel
  cost method) a20nd the effect of increasing price
  of admission on the travel cost. Since travel
  cost is varying from one person to another it is
  possible to construct a demand function for
  recreation. In the same manner different studies
  evaluate Dibbeen and Jarash forests. These
  studies are expensive and need specialist
  researchers for collecting data and filling
  specialized questionnaires prepared for this
  purpose.
