The Water and Electricity Year stamp set was issued by the Government of Jordan on August 11, 1984, to commemorate a national campaign promoting the development and awareness of Jordan's water and electrical infrastructure. This initiative reflected Jordan's commitment to modernizing its utilities and addressing the growing needs of its population during a period of significant urban and industrial expansion. The set consists of 4 stamps featuring multicolored designs that showcase various aspects of Jordan's utility infrastructure. The 25 fils stamp depicts power transmission lines and industrial facilities with a circular emblem, highlighting Jordan's electrical grid development. The 40 fils stamp shows an aerial view of the Amman Power Station, demonstrating the country's investment in centralized power generation. The 60 fils stamp illustrates water infrastructure including reservoirs and pipeline systems, emphasizing water resource management in this arid nation. The 100 fils stamp presents a comprehensive view of modern utilities including telephone lines, street lighting, water taps, and pipeline infrastructure, symbolizing the integrated approach to urban development. The set also includes 4 imperforate variants, possibly proofs, making this an important documentation of Jordan's infrastructure development priorities in the 1980s.
