In addition, there are a few indirect consequences of climate change vulnerability of water sector on related sectors and developmental priorities in Jordan:. Agriculture: due to lower precipitation, the area where rainfed agriculture is possible will significantly shrink. Due to higher temperatures and evaporation, more water will be needed for irrigation. To maintain agricultural production at the same level more water may be required for more irrigation. Higher temperatures will affect plant growth and thus reduce agricultural productivity.
