Water minister opens SCADA centre for northern governorates

AMMAN — Water Minister Hazem El Nasser on Sunday opened the supervisory control and data-acquisition (SCADA) centre for the four northern governorates, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The centre, built at an estimated cost of 15.4 million euros, was funded by a grant from Spain. During the opening ceremony, Nasser said that the centre aims to enhance the sustainability of water resources and infrastructure, which will be reflected on citizens lives and the water security.

The centre comes after the establishment of the main operation control at the ministry, which aims at monitoring water sources and controlling them electronically.
