My name is Alma Abu Alezz, and I am proudly representing Jordan in the Stockholm Water Prize. I am a dedicated and hardworking individual with a strong passion for innovation and sustainability. As a high achiever, I always strive for excellence in everything I do. I have a deep love for horse riding and have been training professionally since the age of eight, enjoying the thrill of competition. I also love being on stage, expressing myself confidently, and forming new connections with people from around the world. My diverse passions fuel my drive to make a meaningful global impact.
Tell us what the water concern in your country is!Jordan faces severe water scarcity, with availability far below the global threshold. Limited natural resources, poor preservation efforts, and increasing demand have made water a critical national challenge.
From where comes your interest in water?Water is essential for life—it sustains health, agriculture, and ecosystems. Growing up in Jordan, where water is limited, I’ve seen how vital it is and how urgently it must be protected and preserved.
This is what I think is one of the solutions for a sustainable future:Smart, accessible technology that reduces waste and encourages mindful water use is key to a sustainable future. Solutions like Ecoflo, which support efficient water management, are vital in regions facing severe scarcity.

EcoFlo: Saving Every Drop One Circuit at a Time
The global water crisis is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century, with approximately 2.1 billion people lacking access to clean water. Water waste, particularly in domestic hot water usage, exacerbates the problem by reducing water availability, especially in regions already facing water scarcity. This research presents Ecoflo, a sustainable, energy- free solution designed to optimize water usage in households with solar water heating systems. The Ecoflo system consists of a recirculation pump that allows cold water to be cycled back into the system until it reaches the desired temperature, thus reducing water waste. This study focuses on assessing the system’s efficiency in saving water, its ease of installation, and its environmental impact. A pilot study…
