The Director of Operation Mercy Jordan, Robert Cole, and the Agricultural Projects Manager, Brian Howard, met with representatives of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) regarding cooperation in the area of farmer surveying in the Northern Jordan Valley and Highlands. Both parties are interested in investigating potential farmer responses to imminent changes in the quality and quantity of water delivered to farmers for irrigation. The MCC is tasked with increasing the supply of water available to households and businesses and
to help improve the efficiency of water delivery, waste water collection
and waste water treatment in Jordan.
One of Operation Mercy's AC4D distinctives is to be proactive in preparing the farming community for changes in water availability, quality and price so that the negative impacts of reduced water supply, water quality degradation, and increasing prices on productivity and income can be minimized.
The MCC has three ongoing mega-projects in Jordan:
The Al Samra waste water treatment plant expansion project
The Wastewater Treatment Network reinforcement and expansion project
The Water network restructuring and rehabilitation project
