Saving Water in Jordan

Mindful of being situated in the fourth most water-poor country in the world, Post also focused on water saving measures. Drip irrigation is used to water the plants and zero-scape landscaping is used throughout the compound. The Ambassador's residence uses rock garden topography with indigenous, drought-resistant plants. Water-saving devices will be installed on faucets and shower heads in embassy buildings, including the gym and club. Post also installed what perhaps are the first waterless urinals in Jordan. A dual flush mechanism is currently being installed in Embassybathrooms. Future plans include reducing water usage for washing the Embassy motor-pool fleet.
