The major use of water resources for agriculture in Jordan is linked to irrigation. It is vital to enhance the effectiveness of irrigation systems in Jordan through various interventions at policy and practice levels including water harvesting, improving soil water storage capacity, use of supplementary irrigation reduce soil erosion through community management, use of Ecosystem based Adaptation (EbA). Some key measure are:. Develop soil-water-plant monitoring programmes (e.g. crop/environment forecasting, RS and GIS, lysimetric, etc).
