The Ministry of Water and Irrigation in Jordan announced the launch of a wide security campaign in Aqaba Governorate, which resulted in the apprehension of the region's biggest water thief. He was siphoning approximately 3,500 cubic meters daily to sell water to factories, hotels, and craft sites. During the campaign, which lasted several days and involved investigation and cooperation with security authorities, 19 violations were uncovered, including attacks on main transmission lines and the theft of water lines over long distances. One individual involved was also detained. Additionally, the violations were removed, and measures were taken to restore proper functioning of the water lines to ensure citizens have access to water. The investigation is ongoing, and legal action is being taken against those involved. The ministry emphasizes its continued strict inspection campaigns to prevent such violations, which threaten water security and citizens' rights. It calls on everyone to report any attempts to tamper with water lines to ensure a steady water supply for all citizens.
