| Abstract | A transition to more sustainable water consumption patterns will likely require Jordan’s water authorities to rely more strongly on water demand management in the future. We have developed an agent-based model of household water consumption in Jordan’s capital Amman, in order to analyze the distribution of burdens imposed by demand-side policies across society. Amman’s households face highly intermittent piped water supply, leading them to supplement it with water from storage tanks and private water tankers. We find that integrating these different supply sources into our model causes demand side policies to create winners and losers. This highlights the importance of a disaggregated perspective on water policy impacts, in order to identify and potentially mitigate excessive burdens. |
