Description
In the Northern Governorates of Jordan, the water supply and sanitation sector has deteriorated in the recent years due to increased population in the area mainly the high number of hosted refugees. The components of the project are therefore directed to improving the sewage collection in Mafraq and Manshyet Bani Hassan especially in hosting higher numbers of Syrian refugees.
The project focuses on the feasibility of expanding the Mafraq Wastewater Treatment Plant to reach a capacity of 16,000 m3/day and improving the sewage collection within the urban and sub-urban areas of Mafraq and Manshyet Bani Hassan. Special emphasis is put in areas experiencing a high influx of Syrian refugees through sewer network cleaning, extension and rehabilitation.
As a result, the project contributes to increasing the percentage of population with access to safely managed sanitation services, thus reducing the number of deaths and illnesses due to poor sanitation and hygiene as well as increasing the proportion of treated wastewater provided the expansion of the WWTP.
