Aqaba Amman Water Desalination and Conveyance project in Jordan

Overview

The Aqaba Amman Water Desalination and Conveyance flagship project (AAWDCP) aims at enhancing water security in Jordan and addressing the impact of climate change in the region. The Aqaba-Amman Water Desalination and Conveyance Project will take water from the Red Sea at the Gulf of Aqaba in the south, desalinate it, and channel it 450 kilometres north to the capital Amman and its surrounding area, supplying a desperately needed 300 million cubic metres of water a year.
