Yes-The conventional freshwater sources now available in the region are barely sufficient to maintain the study area's current quality of life and economy. Jordan, for example, is currently overexploiting its groundwater resources by about 300 million cubic meters per year (million m3/yr), lowering water levels and salinizing freshwater aquifers; similar examples of overexploitation are occurring throughout the study area.
