摘要：
Jordan water resources are very limited, among the lowest in the world on a per capita basis. Water demand at present exceeds the available renewable water resources which have been overexploited to bridge the gap. This gap is expected to widen in the future in all water sectors. This situation can not be maintained without endangering sustainable development. The adoption of a new strategy for water planning is therefore crucial. The strategy should focus on demand management and development of non-conventional water resources. The objective of this paper is to present the water situation in Jordan along with various components of water development and planning, and future water management scenarios.
