Talk:Water supply and sanitation in Jordan

First review
After a first reading I would suggest the following improvements to the article to bring it to a B-class rating for the WikiProject water supply and sanitation:

Substance and structure

 * So far the section on external cooperation is incomplete. The web sites of the agencies mentioned should have a lot of information in this respect. The sections on GTZ and USAID seem incomplete, esp. concerning past projects. I suggest to add more information on other donors, in particular major donors such as EIB, EU and KfW.
 * I would suggest to show Germany as a single donor, with sections for each agency. In the case of Japan, a major donor for the Jordanian water sector, you may consult this page:http://www.jordan.emb-japan.go.jp/eng_page/oda/en_water.htm
 * The section on history could be completed, although this may not be easy.
 * Service provision:It seems that WAJ is not any more in charge of water supply and sewerage in the entire Kingdom: Amman, Aqaba and the Northern Governorates are all now served by separate (?) providers. It may be useful to elaborate somewhat more on this, including on corporate governance of each of the new entities, to what extent they are independent of WAJ (Miyahuna), and to what extent they can be considered private or public (Northern Governorates).
 * I would suggest to limit the section on responsibilities in the sector on what the situation is at this moment, and keep the history in one place in the history section.
 * On PSP, I suggest to add that the As Samra WWTP and the Wadi Ma'in desalination plant and carrier to Amman are both operated by the private sector, the first one under a 22-year BOT contract, the second one under a 10-year DBO contract.
 * More information on NGOs and a list of them would be useful.
 * It may be useful to add the Khirbet as-Samra wastewater treatment plant, by far the largest one in the country, to the list of large infrastructure projects. It has been financed by USAID as a public-private partnership.
 * The following source contains an useful overview of water resources:http://www.fao.org/nr/water/aquastat/countries/jordan/index.stm
 * Another excellent and detailed sources is the book "Water resources in Jordan" edited by Munther J. Haddadin

Form and style

 * When quoting larger documents it would be very useful to add page numbers, e.g. in the publication by the Heinrich-Boell-Foundation (HBF), so that readers can find the actual reference.
 * Wherever primary sources are available, it is preferable to quote the primary sources instead of a secondary source. The heavily quoted HBF publication is an example. This secondary source relies on primary sources, but unfortunately includes very few references, so that it is impossible to find out which primary source a specific piece of information is derived from.
 * A detailed primary source is the 2007 annual report of MWI/WAJ/JVA, which unfortunately seems to be available only in Arabic:http://www.waj.gov.jo/PDF/التقرير%20السنوي%20لعام%202007.pdf
 * The Miyahuna 2007 annual report also has a lot of useful information and is available in English:http://209.61.193.217/CMS_Images/633594870100325039.pdf
 * While I edited the article to some extent for style and grammar, it may be useful if a native English speaker edited the entire article concerning these aspects.

Miscellaneous

 * What is the level of wastewater tariffs?--Mschiffler (talk) 02:51, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
