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 on 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).
