In Deir Alla area in the Jordan Valley where unsustainable agricultural practices prevail, especially in irrigation methods, pesticide use and contamination of water sources, the Jordan Aqua Conservation Association will implement this project which will focus on creating awareness among local community sectors, including students and teachers, religious leaders and farmers in order to bring attention to the importance of preserving water resources in the Jordan Valley?s unique co-system and Jordan?s most important agricultural production area.

Water clubs will be formed in the schools of Deir Alla, a manual on water resources will be produced and distributed among school students. Lectures, field visits and other awareness activities will be conducted involving all target groups in the area. Support will also be provided to a small number of farms that suffer critical conditions, in order to introduce farmers to proper methods of farm management in a way that preserves water, reduces contamination and increases productivity and contributes to protecting the Jordan Valley?s environment in general.
