Jordan mosque recycles wudu water to keep trees and gardens green

A mosque in Jordan is turning water used by worshippers for wudu before prayers into a valuable resource for its gardens. At Abu Obeida Mosque in Deir Alla, wastewater is collected through underground pipes, cleaned and filtered using layers of gravel and sand before being reused for irrigation. Led by the Jordanian Aqua Conservation Association, the initiative aims to conserve the country's limited freshwater resources. The project has now expanded to more than 35 mosques across Jordan.
