AMMAN: Jordan’s Ministry of Water and Irrigation, in partnership with the US Agency for International Development, launched on Tuesday a $39 million water infrastructure enhancement project.
The US-funded project aims to ensure the efficient use of water resources in Jordan, the Jordan News Agency reported.
