Jordan's water supply remains stable
The Ministry of Water and Irrigation in Jordan has succeeded in apprehending the largest attack on water pipelines in Aqaba Governorate. Approximately 3,500 cubic meters of water are being diverted daily to be sold to factories, hotels, and artisanal sites, resulting in citizens being deprived of their water allocations and threatening water security and social stability. The ministry's spokesperson explained that investigations uncovered a professional network involving the extraction and diversion of water through pipelines of various diameters, with organized sales operations and the utilization of reservoirs, some exceeding 300 cubic meters in capacity. One of the involved individuals has been detained, and the leadership of the campaign emphasizes that this case has significant economic and security implications. These illegal activities have caused financial losses exceeding hundreds of thousands of dinars and damage to the water infrastructure. These measures come as the impacts of such attacks on water sources have diminished, though the ministry stresses that water management requires intensified campaigns and efforts to face ongoing challenges, especially with increased demand during the summer season.
