Mosque Oasis Amid Drought
Abu Ubaidah Mosque in Deir Alla, in Balqa Governorate, collects water used for ablution before it reaches the sewers, then reuses it to irrigate trees and flowers through a drip system, helping address water scarcity. The Jordanian Society for Water Conservation operates the system, which took 18 years to expand to 18 mosques and schools, amid financial, technical and bureaucratic obstacles. Each person in Jordan has access to just 61 cubic meters of renewable freshwater a year, while municipal water supplies in some areas are rationed to 12 hours a week.
