Short Summary

This data collection provides a comprehensive dataset of groundwater abstractions, interbasin transfers, and irrigation water abstractions for the Amman Zarqa basin in Jordan from 2018 to 2021, aiming to address critical data gaps for water resource management.

Objective

• To compile and make publicly available a dataset detailing groundwater abstractions, interbasin transfers, and irrigation water abstractions within the Amman Zarqa basin, Jordan, to support water sustainability studies and address existing data gaps.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Amman Zarqa basin, Jordan (approximate centroid: 32.07° N, 36.08° E)
• Temporal Scale: 2018 to 2021

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Not applicable (data collection)
• Data sources: The dataset comprises records of groundwater abstractions, interbasin transfer volumes, and irrigation water abstraction figures.

Main Results

• The primary result is the published dataset (DOI: 10.4121/1520aeb1-d081-4818-b5b0-9485d413cdc4.v1) containing comprehensive records of groundwater abstractions, interbasin transfers, and irrigation water abstractions for the Amman Zarqa basin, Jordan, spanning 2018-2021.

Contributions

• This data collection provides crucial, consolidated water resource data for the Amman Zarqa basin, directly addressing identified data gaps and enabling more robust analyses for water management and sustainability in Jordan's human-water systems.
