Aqaba assault case sent to security over 17m dinars theft
The Ministry of Water and Irrigation announced that the file of water violations and theft in Aqaba Governorate has been referred to the State Security Court, with the estimated value of stolen water amounting to approximately 17 million Jordanian dinars. The ministry has succeeded in apprehending 19 violations involving main transmission lines and illegal water filling practices, which were stealing about 3,500 cubic meters daily through lines connected to 29 tanks. Data indicates that water theft in July alone resulted in the wastage of around 500,000 cubic meters. These violations are among the primary causes of water loss and pose a threat to water security and the national economy. The ministry is working to intensify campaigns to curb these violations, with over a thousand cases currently before the judiciary, and has achieved a reduction in the water loss rate to 42.3%, down from 54% three years ago.
