Save Water for the Future - Public Awareness Online Campaign

Students of AAU conducted a public awareness Online campaign Save Environment for the Future conducted on 21-10-2020 under the guidance of Student affairs in order to create awareness to save water. During the campaign Rainwater harvesting techniques, recycling of greywater and installing water-saving devices has been published in several social media platforms to create awareness among the public citizens.According to the Campaign Director Dr. Arwa, Water scarcity is negatively impacting all Jordanians, but especially those living in the poorest and more marginalised communities, as they cannot afford to pay private water vendors. Responding to water scarcity requires a more comprehensive approach that goes beyond the pumping of more groundwater resources. A comprehensive solution is required to reverse the current trend of water levels, decreasing faster than they are being replenished. Renewed emphasis on “demand management solutions” and on efficiency, conservation and reuse of water will increasingly be a key part of the way forward. Promoting greater efficiency in the way water is used is often one of the least costly, yet most successful, efforts to achieve water security for all.
