Jordan Water Ministry reports stable supply
The Ministry of Water and Irrigation in Jordan announced the seizure of the largest ever assault on water lines in Aqaba Governorate. Authorities were able to arrest one of the individuals involved in stealing approximately 3,500 cubic meters of water daily and selling it to factories, hotels, and artisan sites. The ministry's spokesperson explained that the attacks used professional methods to drain water from the main transmission lines, resulting in the deprivation of thousands of citizens’ water shares during the summer. The financial losses from these water thefts amounted to hundreds of thousands of Jordanian dinars in the first half of this year. The ministry emphasized the continuation of campaigns to crack down on water source violations, noting that water theft and sabotage of the systems are considered economic and security crimes. Efforts are currently underway to pursue other involved individuals. Meanwhile, the report indicated that the overall water situation in the Kingdom remains stable despite challenges posed by climate change. The recent rainy season contributed to increasing reservoir storage, with a strong emphasis on the ongoing necessity for water conservation and improved management.
