Status of National Accounts and Water statistics
in Jordan
Quantity of water supply by source
 Water used for production and waste water generated
by certain sectors depending on specialized surveys
 Cost of water consumed as a commodity in some
sectors
 Cost of infra structure projects for water sectors

Water sector challenges






Scarcity of renewable water resources
Depletion of ground water
High losses during distribution and weakness in
delivery
Limited waste water plants efficiency
High population number and forced immigration
Per capita water supply is around 145 liter/day in 2005
and expected to be 90 m3/year in 2025

Water Account
The main input for water resources is precipitation 
and inflow from other territories. The main natural
flows that decrease the stock are evaporation and
outflow to other territories.
The price of water provide inadequate indicator on its 
economic value. This situation is applicable to Jordan
because of water scarcity. The monetary value of water
used in different sectors of industry, services,
transportation and construction are available
depending on water price considering the water as
commodity enter in production process

Difficulties in Environmental Statistic
Division




1. Deficiency in detailed data related to natural
resources ex. Water asset account describe stock at
the beginning and end of an accounting period
which is not available
2. Need of specialized studies related to degradation
and pollution of resources which is expensive (effect
of air pollution on health and valuation of water in
agriculture depending on change in productivity
approach)
3. Fear of under or over estimating of a resource
4. Training on calculation methodologies
20 ،‫ نيسان‬23
17
The potential implementation of the
SEEAW

The implementation of the SEEAW will take place in
the planned situation if the stuff given adequate
training in the account methodologies, decide tow
employees to work full time for this topic and has
enough money for the working group

The priority in environment division is for sustainable
indicators in water, energy, air pollution and
biodiversity statistic
20 ،‫ نيسان‬23

Jordan Situation

In Jordan several specific studies takes place in
universities to evaluate natural resources such as coral reef
in Aqaba gulf. Surveys were conducted to ask target
people (tourists) about willingness to pay for visiting
Aqaba and interesting in diving and coral reef view
(Travel cost method) a19nd the effect of increasing price
of admission on the travel cost. Since travel cost is
varying from one person to another it is possible to
construct a demand function for recreation. In the same
manner different studies evaluate Dibbeen and Jarash
forests. These studies are expensive and need specialist
researchers for collecting data and filling specialized
questionnaires prepared for this purpose.
