Jordan Industrial Estates Company (JIEC) Launches Solar-Powered Water Harvesting Projects Initiative
The Jordan Industrial Estates Company (JIEC) has unveiled plans for three innovative water harvesting projects equipped with solar energy systems in Al-Hussein Bin Abdullah II, Al-Hasan, and Al-Tafila Industrial Estates. These initiatives are part of JIEC’s ongoing commitment to bolstering the industrial sector while championing sustainable development.
Solar-Powered Infrastructure for Water Harvesting Projects in Industrial Estates
The Jordan Industrial Estates Company (JIEC) is advancing its sustainability agenda with the introduction of solar-powered water harvesting projects in key industrial locations. These projects, located in Al-Hussein Bin Abdullah II, Al-Hasan, and Al-Tafila Industrial Estates, are designed to support industrial expansion and promote environmentally-friendly practices.
According to reports from the Jordan News Agency, the solar-powered facilities aim to enhance water availability within the industrial estates. The facilities will feature reservoirs with capacities of 20,000 cubic meters in both the Al-Hussein and Al-Hasan Industrial Estates, with a 10,000 cubic meter capacity reservoir in Al-Tafila Industrial Estate. Solar-powered pumps will be installed to ensure efficient water distribution, supporting both irrigation and fire-fighting needs within the estates and neighboring communities.
Advancing Sustainability Through Water Harvesting Projects and Industrial Development
These water harvesting projects are integral to JIEC’s broader strategy of fostering sustainability and industrial growth. By integrating solar energy, the projects aim to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources, thereby lowering operational costs and minimizing environmental impact.
Hussein Al-Safadi, Director General of JIEC, highlighted the significance of these projects: “The water harvesting projects reflect our commitment to sustainability and our dedication to providing essential resources to the industrial estates. By using solar energy, we are reducing our environmental footprint and ensuring a steady supply of water for industrial and community use,” he remarked.
This initiative is expected to significantly impact the industrial estates by ensuring a dependable water supply for diverse needs such as irrigation and fire-fighting, thereby contributing to the overall development of the estates and supporting local community requirements. The substantial capacity of the reservoirs, paired with advanced solar-powered pumping systems, guarantees an uninterrupted water supply, a crucial factor for safe and efficient industrial operations.
Water Harvesting Projects Supporting Local Communities and Renewable Goals
Beyond benefiting the industrial estates, these projects will also serve the surrounding communities. By providing a sustainable water source, they will aid agricultural activities and enhance the local residents’ overall well-being.
The adoption of solar energy in these projects aligns with Jordan’s national objectives of increasing renewable energy use and reducing carbon emissions. JIEC’s investment in solar-powered infrastructure serves as a pioneering example, encouraging other organizations to contribute to the country’s sustainable development goals.
The projects in Al-Hussein Bin Abdullah II, Al-Hasan, and Al-Tafila Industrial Estates mark a significant advancement in JIEC’s mission to support industrial growth and sustainability. With solar-powered systems and large-capacity reservoirs, these initiatives will secure a reliable water supply, lessen environmental impacts, and bolster the growth of local communities.
