This report details the finds of project EMMA (Emergency Market Mapping and Analysis) the goal of which was to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the existing water market in Jordan and provide actionable recommendations for gaps in the system. One of their critical findings was that people’s access to water (particularly in the summer months of May - September) depends primarily upon their purchasing power,geographic location and water storage capacity. Overall the problem in Balqa and Zarqa (and Jordan as a whole) is a supply issue,as water is not sufficient to meet all of the demands. However,on a micro- level,it is a demand issue in terms of conditions of access - people do not possess the necessary purchasing power and linkages to market actors to access an equitable share of the water market. As a result of these findings some of the key recommendations the report outlines include increased support to access to drinking water through vouchers linked to local water vendors and greater assistance to water access for domestic use through increased access to water storage capacity .
