Résumé This sectoral Policy is an integral part of the National Water Strategy 2016-2025. It is a national wide document aiming at a more efficient use of water resources through reusing treated wastewater in irrigation that enables freeing fresh water for municipal uses. The long-term goal is to achieve water security in the country. It also provides for: (i) using the treated wastewater in other economic activities; (ii) expanding collection and treatment of wastewater; (iii) updating and developing standards and practices for substituting fresh water used in irrigation by treated wastewater after blending it; (iv) decreasing the demand for groundwater; and (v) ensuring sustainability and protecting the environment and nature in applying these actions. The Policy takes into consideration different aspects of the sector that favor and improve its implementation, such as: (i) substitution priorities (high priority shall be given to Jordan Valley); (ii) institutional and administrative issues (i.e. tariff setting, choice of the right types of produce and best irrigation and marketing practices, monitoring programs, private sector participation, community based initiative organizations); (iii) resource management; (iv) legislation; (v) public awareness; and (vi) technology, research and development issues.
