Beneficiary: The Water Authority of Jordan (WA). Amount: US$50.0 million equivalent. Terms: 15 years, including three years of grace, at the standard variable interest rate. Relending Terms: Same as the Bank loan. The WA will bear the foreign exchange and the interest rate risks. Project Description: The project, which is part of the Government's high priority program to improve the water supply and sewerage services in Jordan, would include: (i) extension and rehabilitation of about 450 km of water mains; (ii) construction of one service reservoir and two pumping stations; (iii) construction and extension of about 365 km of trunk and collection sewers; (iv) construction of three and extension of two sewage treatment works; (v) supply of equipment for works operation and maintenance and water sources monitoring; and (vi) consultant services for engineering, construction supertision and water supply systems control. The project would continue the institutional development efforts started under previous Bank loans. The main beneficiaries of the project would be low and middle-income families. Since the WA is reasonably well established, project preparation is at an advanced stage and because previous experience in project execution has been very good, no particular risks are foreseen during project executiun or in reaching the project objectives.

HASHEMTE KIWGDOMOF JORDAN JORDAN WATER SUPPLY AND SEWERAGEPROJECT L SECTORAL CONTEXT 1.01 Jordan is a semi-desertcountry with a land area of about 91,000 sq. km with the only access to the sea along a 25 km coastlinein the south where the seaport of Aqaba is located. The most remarkablephysical featureof the country is the structuralsplit of the Red Sea/JordanRift Valley which has createda long narrow trough of land, running from Aqaba in the south to the foot of Mount Rermon in Syria in the north. Much of the land in this trough, which includes the Jordan Valley and Wadi Araba, is below sea level with the water level in the Dead Sea at -392 m. To the east, the land rises steeply to a plateau with an average altitude of about 800 m with peaks rising to over 1,500 m. This plateau constitutesthe uplands of Jordan and is characterized by a more temperateclimate and relativelyabundant rainfall. Further towards the east, rainfall decreases rapidlyand the land slopes gently to the Arabian Desert. 1.02 Current populationon thE.East Bank is estimatedat 2.5 million, of which some 70% is urban.t' About 902 of the populationlives in the northwest quadrantof the coun.ry. The net growth rate is about 42 per annum. 1.03 Administrativelythe East Bank of Jordan is divided into eight governorates: Amman, Irbid, Balqa, Kerak, Ma'an, Mafraq, Zarqa and Tafila. The governoratesare further subdividedinto districts,sub-districts and nahias, the smallest units of regionaladministration. The total number of nahias in the country is 44, encompassingabout 1,017 populationcenters. Water Resources 1.04 About 80f of Jordan's land area is desert. Availabilityof water depends largely on rainfall,ranging from moderate amounts (600 millimeters per year) in the northern uplands to negligibleamounts in the southernand eastern deserts, over 85% of which
