Jordan’s Water and Irrigation Ministry has drawn up an emergency plan to ration water nationwide after the country received 34 percent of average rainfall this season, a Jordanian official said.
The plan, which requires government approval, would restrict water for drinking and irrigation and promote conservation, Saed Abu Hammour, secretary-general of the ministry’s Jordan Valley Authority, said in a phone interview today from Jordan. He didn’t say when approval was expected.
