The Jordan Times published an extensive interview with Jordan's water and irrigation minister, which revealed a grim picture of the situation in a neighbor to the east.
The water supply is declining due to a growing population along with the addition of refugee flows, lower precipitation and higher evaporation due to rising temperatures, as well as an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme rains, all factors that have lowered Jordan's water volume per capita.
The situation in Jordan is less than a tenth of 1,000 cubic meters per person per year, Water and Irrigation Minister Muhammad al-Najjar said in an exclusive interview with the Jordan Times.
