Abstract

The potential of the development of water pumping using wind energy in Jordan was studied. Underground water can be pumped using wind power. Based on available wind data eleven wind sites were considered. The results show that these sites can be divided, in terms of the annual amount of pumped water, into three categories. One is considered “favorable”, which includes Ras Muneef, Mafraq, and Aqaba. Their water output adds up to most of water produced from all eleven sites combined (about 64%). Others are considered to be “promising”, which include H-5, Irbid, and Ma'an. Their water output adds up to about to 28% of all water pumped at all sites combined. The rest of sites considered are found to be “poor”, which include H-4, Amman, Queen Alia's Airport, Shoubak, and Deiralla, with much smaller amounts of water output. Their combined water output adds up to less than 8% of all site combined.
