id:rc is proud to have been awarded a subcontract under the U.S. Embassy-funded Water Efficiency and Conservation Activity (WEC), implemented by Tetra Tech ARD, to conduct the Water Demand Analysis for Jordan’s National Conveyance Project (NCP).

The NCP, Jordan’s largest-ever water infrastructure initiative, will deliver approximately 300 million cubic meters of desalinated water annually through a 445-kilometer pipeline from the Red Sea and is expected to become operational by 2030. With per capita water availability among the lowest in the world, this project is central to Jordan’s long-term water security.

Over a six-month period, id:rc will establish an empirical baseline of actual municipal water demand across all 12 governorates, capturing consumption from piped water supply, private water tankers, and rainwater harvesting. The study will also project district-level demand through 2040. The study’s findings will directly inform the allocation of NCP water resources to support Jordan’s target of 100 liters per capita per day (l/c/d) and guide planning and decision-making by the Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ) and the NCP Management Unit.

We look forward to contributing rigorous, evidence-based analysis to one of the most significant infrastructure investments in Jordan’s history.
