Jordan has signed a $5 billion agreement with a coalition of French companies to construct one of the world's largest desalination plants. The project, named 'National Carrier', aims to desalinate water from the Red Sea and transport it to various provinces across the kingdom. It is expected to provide approximately 300 million cubic meters of drinking water annually, addressing the water scarcity challenges faced by the country, which is among the driest in the world.
