About the Project

Water risk is shared.
Growth is not.

Amman Water Intelligence is an independent research project exploring where urban development pressure and water constraints intersect across Greater Amman.

The question was never
“Which neighborhood has good water?”

Greater Amman operates within a broadly constrained water environment. The more useful question is where additional development pressure may interact most strongly with those constraints — and where better local evidence should be collected first.

Amman Water Intelligence was created to explore that question using publicly available evidence.

“Location intelligence should make uncertainty clearer — not hide it behind a score.”

The project deliberately preserves data-resolution limits and separates screening evidence from household or building-level claims.

What It Is

A screening framework built from six layers of public evidence.

The result is an Integrated Exposure screening framework used to identify where deeper investigation may be most valuable — not a final verdict on any single location.

What It Is Not

A screen, not a prediction.

01The project does not predict household water outages.
02The project does not measure building-level pipe pressure.
03The project does not measure water quality.
04The project does not label lower-ranked areas as “water safe.”
05The project does not make real-estate investment recommendations.
Behind the Research

Abdelrahman Tuffaha

Abdelrahman Tuffaha is an International Accounting and Finance student at the American University of Madaba with interests in real estate, location intelligence, urban development, and business strategy.

He created Amman Water Intelligence as an independent research project to explore how publicly available data can support better development and location decisions in water-constrained markets.

Project Evolution

The project evolved from an initial proof of concept into an eight-location Greater Amman screening framework.

The Next Step

Better local evidence, not a more complicated score.

The current framework identifies where deeper investigation should begin. Future development of the project would focus on finer utility, network, building, and site-level evidence.
