WSP in Jordan
National vision
Miyahuna participate in WSPs as apart of
Jordan vision to implement the concept
Water Safety Plan In Jordan
National vision
 In 2006 Jordan was chosen as the first country from the Eastern
Mediterranean Region to develop a demonstration project for WSP
with WHO support
 MoH , WAJ and Miyahuna considered the WSP as a sustainable
quality management approach for the continuous delivery of safe
drinking water.
 All related bodies agreed to develop the WSP at (Wadiessir)to
be piloted to other water supplies in Jordan in fulfillment of the
national Vision “for full implementation of water safety
plan in all water supply systems in Jordan
 In 2012 five demonstration WSPs were Developed in
different area which was one of several activities of a Joint
Program (JP) named “Adaptation to Climate Change to
Sustain Jordan’s MDG Achievements,” launched by four UN
agencies working in Jordan, namely UNDP, WHO-CEHA,
FAO, and UNESCO. The JP aims at protecting human health
against water
 MIYAHUNA participated in development WSP for Zai
Water Treatment Plant System and one of distribution zone
in Amman(DZ12)(project under progress) .

respect to drinking water resources .
In Amman governorate the water resources available is
149(lt/cap/day) while the amount of water delivered to the
domestic consumers is 79( lt/cap/day ) .
Many of raw water resources are out side the country which need
more concentration in identifying the risks and decide a
preventive measures .
High Cost of water production and distribution mainly within
miyahuna service area(1USD/M3) .
SO ..Efficient water resources utilization is a must ,WSP consider
as one of the important tool to increase the efficiency of water
supplying system and providing the customer s with a safe water.
Zai water supply System
Why Zai Water System & Distribution Zone
(DZ12 ) ?
 Zai Treatment Plant is largest source of water in Amman capital city
and it’s the largest water treatment plant in Jordan(250,000 m3 /day).
 40% of Amman governorate water from Zai in addition to 50% of Balqa
Governorate.
 Raw water sources of Zai system are out side the country while raw
water quality fluctuating increasing the quality hazards .
 DZ12 is part of 44 water distribution zone in Amman and its included in
the plan to have more comprehensive pilot plans ,able to be expanded
to cover Miyahuna service area .
