Managing water resources - Case Study (Block A) - Table 2 by Janice Chin https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018a2 en-us 2018-01-30 13:23:15 UTC 2026-02-02 03:31:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Case Study - How water is management in a selected country? janicechin https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018a2/wish/226055555 In the padlet page, every group should include:
1. Some statistics about water scarcity of the selected country
2. At least 3 ways of managing water resources (Why these methods are more feasible than other methods)
3. At least 3 pictures showing the water resources management.

Example of water management:
1.Dams and reservoirs
2.Storing water underground
3.Better management of wells and aquifers (Replenishing aquifers)
4. Cloud Seeding
5. Rainwater harvesting
6. Desalination
7. Increasing agricultural water productivity
8. Forest water management 
9. Water redistribution
10. Water conservation

• While it's population is rising 3% annually.
• More than 3 quarters of Jordan's population lives in urban areas & this no. is rising due to population growth, as well as the influx of refugees.
• Their agriculture sector uses around 62% of Jordan's water resources.
• So government officials have suggested that they conserve water by switching to drip irrigation methods and less water intensive crops.
• While Jordan relies on ground water recharge from rainfall for water supplies, precipitation varies each year & over 90% evaporates before capture, aquifers have reached historically low levels.]]> 2018-02-02 01:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018a2/wish/227335076 2. Management https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018a2/wish/227336522 • Drip irrigation
Due to the following benefits, the Jordaniana shave started to increase the use of drip irrigation: 

  • Has recorded increase in yield up to 230%.
  • Saves water up to 70% compared to flood irrigation. More land can be irrigated with the water thus saved.
  • Crop grows consistently, healthier and matures fast.
  • Early maturity results in higher and faster returns on investment.
  • Fertilizer use efficiency increases by 30%.
  • Cost of fertilisers, inter–culturing and labour use gets reduced.

• Less water intensive crops
The Jordanian government has encouraged farmers to switch from growing water intensive crops such as rice to those which require less water in the growing process. This would include growing crops such as millets in arid areas. 

• Water recharge from rainfall
Accumulation and storage of rainwater for reuse on site. This can be beneficial to the farming industry in Jordan.
