Jordan: Promised Land...of Thirst (2x7)

Udgivelsesdato: Jun 08, 2012

Jordan is the 4th driest country in the world. The lack of water has been a recurrent issue in this region. Climate change has lead to a dramatic situation with a water deficit estimated to over 500 million cubic meters a year. The Kingdom has taken drastic measures to fight back: Ninety percent of the rain is collected and the government has a strict water distribution program. Sadly, these solutions are not enough, as the Jordan population grows at a rate of 3% a year, and has seen half a million Iraqi refugees settle in this region.
