Report on Policy Options to Increase Public Participation in Greywater Reuse in Jordan and the Region

Almost all of Jordan’s wastewater is reused either in aquifer recharge or directly in agriculture. However, there is not enough studies, nor there is an extensive practice of greywater reuse at the household level in the urban centers where the option of reusing greywater has been with the installation of wastewater collection systems. Where collection networks have not been installed, percolation pits are still in vogue and these have their greywater recharge underlying aquifers. In rural areas, many households reuse part of their greywater in irrigating trees in their front or back yards.
