Jordan: Water Scarcity: Difference between revisions

In terms of water stress levels, it is generally considered that countries with annual supplies of 1,000-2,000 m3 per person are water-stressed, with 1,000 m3 thought to be the minimum per capita requirement of a moderately developed country.<ref name="Mohsen" /> Societies with less than 500 m3 per capita are said to suffer from absolute scarcity. “But lack of water then requires application of expensive technologies and becomes a constraint on food production, social and economic development, and protection of natural systems.”<ref name="Mohsen" />
