Seems to me cooling might be an issue in an already water poor area of the world.
Jordan has access to enough water. Just because it's in the middle east doesn't mean it's a desert. Power plants go near population centers, and population centers exist near water. Even more importantly, there's a difference between "drinking water," with all of its sanitation, distribution, and monitoring needs, and just plain "water," which can be found in any lake. Heck, lots of power plants have man-made lakes to supply that water.
But you're missing the real point. Modern nuclear plants don't need that much water. The Fukushima reactor is the oldest design there is, and its dependency on water is one of the reasons it's no longer used. Passive cooling towers (the big bong-looking cement things that we associate with nuclear plants, but which can also be used on other non-nuclear plants) massively reduce the water requirements of a nuclear plant, and are almost certainly what would be used.
