The renewable water resources base of Jordan has been estimated of around 780 million m3, of which 275 million m3 is groundwater, with the remainder coming from surface water sources. The regional climate models predict a decrease in winter rainfall and an increase in mean annual temperature which will reduce the renewable water supply and further exacerbate water scarcity in Jordan. The country is being a pioneer in using treated wastewater which is stored inside Wadi dams and then used for irrigation in the Jordan Valley.
