South Korea and Jordan inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to boost cooperation in water management in the Gulf country that is comprised of 90 percent arid desert.

The agreement was inked between the ministry and Jordan's Ministry of Water and Irrigation on the sidelines of the Arab Water Week 2017 at a resort along the Dead Sea in Jordan. The main theme at the event this week is the "Managing Water Systems within Fragile Environments in the Arab Region."

South Korea will collaborate with Jordan to establish smart water grid, including the construction of desalination plants.

The smart water grid is about building and systemizing dams and desalination plants to manage both underground water and sea water effectively.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said, "We expect the MOU will serve as the occasion for South Korean companies to make inroads into Jordan to help solve the water shortage and other projects there. Jordan has plans for investment of up to US$30 billion in the development of electricity, water resources, transportation and other infrastructure by 2025."

The ministry has already submitted applications to Jordan's six provincial governments to export the smart water grid.
