Water source attacks jeopardize security
The Disi water project in Jordan, which began 14 years ago with a cost of nearly one billion dollars, has faced the challenge of repeated attacks on the water pipeline. Since 2014 up to mid-August 2026, approximately 14,000 attacks have been recorded. These attacks, with 2025 experiencing the highest rate at 1,802 incidents, are among the main causes of water loss, accounting for over 70% of the total leakage. Every 1% of water loss results in the wastage of 5 million cubic meters of water. Such attacks lead to water theft and damage to the infrastructure, depriving households of their right to water and causing the ministry to incur significant expenses for repairs and compensation. Fines have exceeded 8 million dinars, posing a serious threat to water security and sustainability due to these illegal acts.
