  ABSTRACT: Water Safety Plan (WSP) is considered as a collaborative approach dedicated to the risks of water impurity in a drinking water operating system, started at the catchment and finished at the end user, to protect people’s health. The aim of this study is to accomplish a WSP for the drinking water operation system of Azraq Spring. It is located in Fuhais in the northwestern part of Balqa, about 20 km west of Amman. The catchment area is 23.71 km2 and it has a perimeter of 20.42 km. Semi-quantitative approach is used for risk assessment. Possible hazardous events and related hazards were recognized in each portion of the water operation system. WSP decreases the risk of public health, guarantees the water quality with standards requirements, increases the trust of users, and advances management of water resources due to involvement planning. New control measures are suggested by the WSP team within this study.
