  • Reclaimed water as a non-conventional water resource is one of the most important measures that have been considered to meet the increasing water demand of the growing population and industrialization. Over 64% of the Jordanian population is connected to sewerage system and raw wastewater is discharged to 26 wastewater treatment plants to be treated for minimum discharge standards and reuse requirements stated in the JS 893/2006.

Jordan experience in quality aspects of reclaimed water and standards gives an excellent example of how developing countries can proceed forward and take full advantage of reclaimed wastewater as a valuable resource depending on numerical standards for intensive monitoring, control and legal enforcement
