Implementation & management solutions
Typology of Non- Conventional Water Resources (NCWR) What kind of NCWR do you deal with ?:
Municipal wastewater (MWW)
What are the challenges raised by your Best Practice?
Water for irrigation and food production is not available, Poor quality of treated water, Environmental pollution
How could you describe your Best Practice?
save more than 30% of irrigation water for forage crops (no evaporation from the soil surface ) and increase the production by 25% in comparison with surface irrigation with no pathogen contaminations because there is no direct contact with the crop canopy.
Please describe your Best Practice in 5 keywords?
save water, increase productivity, reduce pollution, safe , water saving
In which area has your Best Practice been implemented ?
Agricultural area
Best Practice location implementation (Country)
Jordan
Localisation
POINT (36.0082 32.5587)
Who are the beneficiaries and/or the target group of your Best Practice ?
Water Utilities, Farmers, Management Authorities
f the Best Practice has been implemented within a partnership, who were your partners ?
MENWARA project
Have you involved stakeholders?
Yes
Please list them
Yes, Farmers, Ministry of water and irrigation and extension agents
What are the obstacles to implementation of Best Practice ?
Isuffi cient funding instruments to support solution for NCW, High cost of technological solutions
Did you receive funding for the research and development of the proposed BP?
Yes
Please indicate the source of funding
EU funding
What difficulties you have faced to access the funding ?
high competition to get project and funding's
Has your Best Practice been validated/upscaled?
Yes it has been validated in Ramtha research station for non conventional water studies and upscaling is in progress through MENWARA project
Is there the potential to exploit/outscale the Best Practice?
yes because we have water scarcity and we have to use the treated wastewater efficiently in safe way for the end users and the environment.
Do you have or know any platform of sharing Best Practice that you would like to link to this inventory platform?
Yes
Please provide the link (or/and) the platform name
Arab Agricultural Forum which will be implemented in Amman in December 2022 (4-6
Does your Best Practice contribute to an innovation? If so, please provide a short description of the innovative component
yes due to COVID19 movement restrictions we designed and developed the installation machine from local materials by our self with cheaper cost and less time consuming than importing from outside the country
What technolog(ies) and/or tool(s) has(ve) been used for your Best Practice ?
lateral pipe installation machine
