Improved Water Resources Security for Low-Income Rural and Urban Communities: Action Plan for the Yarmouk River Basin

The Improved Water Resources Security for Low-Income Rural and Urban Communities (WRAP) programme aims to improve water security with a focus on low-income areas, and to provide water supplies with the most advanced tools for managing and planning the use of water resources. 

The programme is implemented through two components. The first works to improve water delivery to several low-income areas through: rehabilitating drinking water networks, introducing water saving technologies at the household and community level, and establishing ‘water wise’ groups for women. 

The second component aims to support water governance of the Yarmouk Basin through the establishment of a multi-stakeholder river basin committee and the development of decision support models, such as WEAP, MODFLOW and MYWAS.
