water and treated waste water - Quantities of water supply for municipal and
industrial uses - Detail information on water basins distributed by
usage - Waste water treatment plants on design and
operation capacity, Detailed and specialized
results on microbial and chemical tests - Chemical and physical analysis on drinking water
3Status of National Accounts and Water statistics
in Jordan
- Quantity of water supply by source
- Water used for production and waste water
generated by certain sectors depending on
specialized surveys - Cost of water consumed as a commodity in some
sectors - Cost of infra structure projects for water sectors
4Water sector challenges
- Scarcity of renewable water resources
- Depletion of ground water
- High losses during distribution and weakness in
delivery - Limited waste water plants efficiency
- High population number and forced immigration
- Per capita water supply is around 145 liter/day
in 2005 and expected to be 90 m3/year in 2025
5Water Resources
- The climate is generally arid 70 of the country
receives less than 100 mm - 90 of the country receives less than 200 mm
- North western highland 2 receives around 300 mm
- Water resources
- 1. Surface water Jordan rift Valley, Springs and
Floods - 2. Ground Water Renewable and Non-Renewable
- 3. Treated Waste Water

11Water 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

17Difficulties 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
18The 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
19Jordan 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) a19nd 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.
