South Korean experts are exploring business opportunities in Jordan to provide technologies that may help the Middle Eastern country’s chronic water shortage.

The Amman office of the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency(KOTRA) said Sunday that it is conducting field research in the Jordan’s capital between Monday and Thursday along with the Incheon-based Smart Water Grid Research Group under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

A research team comprising four South Korean experts in water management will lead the research on water resource networks in Jordan with visits to government agencies and surveying of infrastructure.

They will also see whether South Korea’s cutting-edge water treatment system, Smart Water Grid(SWG), can be applied to Jordan. The SWG uses advanced information and communication technologies to overcome the limitations of existing water resource management systems.

Over 90 percent of Jordan’s territory receives only 50 to 200 millimeters of rainfall per year.
