Improved access to water, water distribution performance and related sewerage disposal in Irbid Governorate for host communities and Syrian refugees

About this project

The main objective of the project is to develop infrastructures and capacities for adequate delivery of water and sanitation in the area of Irbid and Ramtha (Northern Governorates in Jordan), where the Syrian refugees and host communities are facing the growing deterioration of services from both quantitative and qualitative points of views. The specific objectives of the Project are:1.Expanding and improving the performance of the water networks in Greater Irbid and Ramtha where water could be distributed to the expectation in terms of volume and timeliness, with reduced leakage and energy consumption. This investment is absolutely necessary to secure adequate levels of service to the host communities and Syrian refugees in the Greater Irbid and Ramtha areas, and hence reduce tensions between communities.2.Connecting to sewerage networks the unserved areas of Irbid that will receive the new water resources, which will result in an increase of treated wastewater used for irrigation and power generation, will alleviate the pressure on the overloaded sections of the existing network and will prevent the contaminations of the surroundings and aquifers from the currently overloaded installations (such as flooding cesspits) and pit latrines.3.Capacity strengthening of Yarmouk Water Company staff for operations and maintenance of the expanded and restructured networks. This will focus on including but not limited to (i) management of newly created hydraulic district metered areas,…
