Body

Amman Case study (CS) is the main city of Jordan. This climate is Mediterranean with a daily temperature mean range of 3-32 ºC. the monthly rainfall mean range is 0-42 mm. The  urban catchment size is about 2,000 km2. The population of the city is 4,000,000 people with a population density f 2,000 people/km2.

Location of target area of Sahab municipality of Amman CS

 

Amman CS aims to address

  • Diffuse pollution monitoring at districts of the Sahab municipality of Amman (having a total area of 1,367 ha)
  • The Implementation and validation of the planning tool at this Sahab district to estimate a SW decentralised management
  • To identify the best GI at different climate scenarios to mitigate pollution diffusion.

In addition, a participatory approach through the involvement of a Jordan inter-ministerial committee related to urban water management (NICE committee) will be involved by UJ in the International Stakeholder Board to be developed in the WATERUN co-creation process.

To validate and replicate the software in a Mediterranean climate city to strengthen the tool and provide decentralised solutions based on GI to increase the green spaces in semi-arid urban settlements as Amman (currently green spaces do not account for more than 2.5% of city surface).

Over the course of the project, Amman CS will validate and replicate the software in a Mediterranean climate city to strengthen the tool and provide decentralised solutions based on GI to increase the green spaces in semi-arid urban settlements as Amman (currently green spaces do not account for more than 2.5% of city surface).

 

The related Key Performance Indicators are:

  • The estimation and monitoring of SW in at least 2 Sahab municipality districts
  • The application of planning tool to 1 Sahab municipality district.
