Expected Impact on the Dead Sea (WB)

As A follow-up on the WB Study The Regional Countries are in agreement to start the implementation of an initial phase to fulfil the concept of: Rapid initiation of RSDS Regional Project with Initial Phase I, and it will serve as a pilot phase. Initiating the infrastructure elements of all subsequent project phases

 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed

• n Dec 9, 2013 between Jordan, the Palestinian Authority,

and Israel at the World Bank in Washington DC, in which all parties agreed to start the implementation of the first phase of the RSDS project on BoT basis.

 Following up on this MoU, bi-lateral agreements will be

signed between Jordan and Israel and Palestinian Authority and Israel soon;

 This project RSDS-Phase I (Red Sea Desalination

Project at Aqaba) is a result of a joint initiative to promote regional cooperation among Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority (the Beneficiary Parties).

 Treatment and Desalination Plant (80-100)

mcm/yr

 Freshwater Booster Pump Station to Aqaba

(2 pumps -300 m and 2-50 m pumps)

 Freshwater Conveyance

(4 km of 1.2 m Pipeline to Border) (17.0 km of 0.8 to 1.0 m Pipeline to Aqaba)

 Seawater Conveyance

(2km of 3.7 m pipeline and 22 km of 2.2 m Pipeline)

 Seawater Intake Pump Station

(pumps- 50m VT pumps; 4,500 HP motors)

 Intake Structure

(178 to 222 mcm/yr) with Max Capacity 700 mcm/yr

Red Sea Aqaba

 Desalination Brine Conveyance

(200 km of 1.4 to 1.8m Pipeline)

 Desalination Brine Pressure Regulation

(3-Pressure Reducing Stations; With the potential to be replaced by Hydropower Generation Stations

 The Gulf of Aqaba is Protected, no Environmental effects  Infrastructure is Designed to be Expanded  No Infrastructure is Abandoned in Future Phases  The Phase I Desalination Facility at Aqaba Provides Flexibility in

Delivering Freshwater to Current Consumers

 Project Financing is Feasible through a Combination of

Acceptable Water Rates and Financial Grants

 The Project Initiates the Process to Save the Dead Sea
