The Judges have strongly considered your proposal in this second round of evaluation, and have chosen to not advance it as a Finalist for this contest.
We, the Judges and contest Fellows, are truly grateful for your contribution to the Climate CoLab and for your commitment to address climate change.
We encourage you to keep developing your work. Transfer it to the Proposal Workspace to re-open it, make edits, add collaborators, and even submit it into a future contest. You can do so by logging into your account, opening your proposal, selecting the Admin tab, and clicking “Move proposal”. Final judging comments are attached below.
We hope you will stay involved in the Climate CoLab community. Please support and comment on proposals that have been named Finalists and vote for which proposal you would like to be nominated as the contest’s Popular Choice Winner.
If you have questions, please contact the Climate CoLab staff at admin@climatecolab.org
Keep up the great work. And thank you again for being a part of this mission to harness the world’s collective efforts to develop and share innovative climate change solutions.

Systems analysis is a great approach to solving complex issues.
More consideration needed to get political buy-in of systems approach for the solution. Proposal not significantly updated since the last round.

SUBJECT: Your proposal has been selected as a Climate CoLab Semi-Finalist!
Proposal: Water and Energy Transformation in Jordan
Contest: Energy-Water Nexus
Congratulations! Your proposal submitted to the Energy-Water Nexus contest has been selected to advance to the Semi-Finalists round.
You will be able to revise your proposal and add new collaborators if you wish, from July 1st until July 14, 2015 at 23:59pm Eastern Time.
Judges' feedback are posted under the "Evaluation" tab of your proposal and below. Please incorporate this feedback in your revisions, or your proposal may not be advanced to the Finalists round. We ask you to also summarize the changes that you made in the comment section of the Evaluation tab.

Thank you for your great work and again, congratulations!

Systems analysis is a great approach to solving complex issues. This concept is attractive at a theoretical level. With such a high degree of water stress this project could have a big impact in Jordan and the region. Well presented and justified.
A description of who controls the water and the actual water resources would be helpful (e.g., surface water versus groundwater). In addition, a some analysis of who uses the water by percentage would be helpful. If the model has been adopted in the North of Jordan, a discussion of how that is going would be helpful. Has there been any changes/benefits as a result of having the model available? The paper should provide the actual amount/percentage of fossil fuel that Jordan uses to produce its energy in order to make the GHG reductions argument stronger. Also, not all fossil fuels are created equal (e.g. coal versus natural gas). The proposal cost is missing. Much more detailed discussion regarding how this approach could be implemented given current Jordanian institutional structures would make this proposal even more compelling. Also, more quantitative analysis of the real energy impacts that could be expected from the adoption of this approach.
