The Syrian Civil war conflict has caused a lot of pain and suffering especially for the Syrian population; many Syrian refugees have fled to Jordan to seek refuge since Jordan is relatively a safe country. The estimated number of Syrian refugees in Jordan is estimated to be 1.3 million people.

However, another problem arises, Jordan was not ready for the influx of this many Syrians; Jordan already had a slight water problem before the Syrian conflict, but this influx of Syrian refugees has made it worse, there has been a 40% increase in water demand in northern governorates. In addition, an already increasing population plus Jordan being an overall dry country has also worsened the water shortage. Jordan is the second most water scarce country in the world. So what is the solution to this devastating problem?

This petition letter aims to spread awareness about ways to fix this water shortage; solutions could include supporting poor families especially Syrian refugees with better water networks, desalination to provide more drinking water, building more water collection systems to collect rainfall, and donating to teams and projects aiming to fix Jordan's water shortage such as Red Sea-Dead Sea Conveyance, which is planning to release over 1 billion cubic meters of brine into the dead sea, and the Molham team which aims to support Syrian refugees with water, food, and shelter.

This problem can be fixed with the help of the government and the people; hopefully with this petition, we aim to spread greater awareness about this serious issue so that the government can build better infrastructure and people can donate more to the cause. So what are you waiting for? Sign this petition for the greater good!
