Water Loss Caused by Theft
The Disi Water Conveyance Project in Jordan, launched 14 years ago at a cost of nearly one billion dollars to enhance water supplies, has faced increasing challenges due to repeated attacks on its pipelines. The Ministry of Water and Irrigation recorded approximately 13,796 attacks from 2014 up to mid-August 2026. In 2025 alone, the highest rate of attacks was recorded, with 1,802 incidents. These assaults on water sources account for over 70% of total water loss, with an estimated 1% of loss equivalent to 5 million cubic meters—enough to meet the needs of about 81,000 people annually. The ministry is working to safeguard the pipeline using modern technologies, but attacks continue, resulting in financial losses and hindering efforts to develop water resources. Water preservation remains a collective responsibility, and attacking water sources is considered both religiously forbidden and a criminal act punishable by law, as it violates the rights of current and future generations to water resources.
