Yalla Nwaffer Mai, or Let’s Save Water is a water conservation campaign launched in July by the Jordan Water Company (Miyahuna), HSBC Bank, and USAID to fight water waste and create awareness about the need to conservate water in Jordan.  Jordan is categorized as the fourth water-poorest country in the world.

The target of the campaign has been to distribute and install water saving devices (free of charge) in order to reduce consumption in target areas known for consuming large quantities of water.  Since western Amman consumes over 20 percent of the city’s water allocation, the campaign focused on that region.

To date a total of 1,200 houses have been equipped with these water saving devices in west Amman neighborhoods such as Um Uthaina, Sweileh, Sweifieh, Sheisani, the Sports City area, and Khalda.  The campaign organizers originally planned to equip 2,500 homes with the devices, but then stated that the numbers had been reduced since standard houses in these target areas needed more devices than originally expected.
