Map of Jordan

Jordan

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is recognized as one of the most water-deficient nations globally. Merely 4% of its land is considered arable and the country faces major challenges in the agriculture sector. The scarcity of water and limited natural resources significantly restricts agricultural production and poses a threat to social and economic development gains. The country is prone to periodic droughts and relies heavily on underground water to meet the population's demands. In the past decade, Jordan has had the highest population growth in the Middle East and hosts about 1.4 million refugees from Syria.
