  1. WaterStatisticsandWater Account in Jordan JORDAN

  2. Status of National Accounts and Water statistics in Jordan • Data available on: Quantities of surface, ground 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

  3. Status 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

  4. Water 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

  5. Water 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

  6. Comparison of surface water budget for 2005/2006 with long-term average 1937-2006

  7. Total quantity of ground water, Number of wells and % of safe yield by source of ground water 2006

  8. Quantities of treated waste water and used for irrigation 1998-2006 M.C.M.

  9. Water Supply • Total water supply is 925.22 M.C.M. in 2006 • Surface water supply is 39.49% from the total • Renewable and Non-Renewable ground water is 51.84% • Treated waste water share for irrigation use is 13.64% • Jordan Rift valley contribute to 70.3% • Springs contributes to 13.8% • Flood share is 15.9%

  10. Quantity of water Supply by Resource2006 M.C.M

  11. 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

  12. water used in certain sectors (M.C.M.)

  13. physical use table M.C.M. in 2005

  14. physical stock of renewable freshwater resources M.C.M

  15. Prices of the total amount of water in specific sectors (000 JD) in 2005

  16. Economic valuation depending on the type of the project, 2005 (infrastructure cost)

  17. 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

  18. The potential implementation of the SEEAW • The implementation of the SEEAW will take place in theplanned situation ifthe 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

  19. 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) 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.
