More than 3,000 cubic metres of water delivered to Zaatari camp daily
AMMONNEWS - about 3,500 cubic metres of water are delivered to Zaatari camp daily, providing the growing numbers of refugees with clean water for drinking, cooking and cleaning, the Secretary General of Water and Irrigation Ministry Basim Telfah.
The extra needs are placing a huge strain on Jordan, which is ranked as one of the most water-stressed countries in the world, well before the recent flood of refugees from civil war in Syria.
Jordan is only able to provide 150 cubic metres of water per person annually, much lower than the 500 cubic metres that marks water scarcity by UN estimates.
