Disi water assaults reach 1000 this year
News reports indicate that more than a thousand attacks on the Disi water canal have been recorded since the beginning of this year in Jordan. These attacks pose a serious threat to this vital water source. The Disi water project, which started 14 years ago at a cost of nearly one billion dollars to enhance water supplies, is facing increasing challenges due to repeated assaults on the pipeline. Since 2014, approximately 13,796 attacks have been documented. Each 1% of these attacks results in the wastage of about 5 million cubic meters of water, equivalent to the annual needs of around 81,000 people. In July alone, approximately half a million cubic meters of water were wasted, with 346 attacks recorded. This highlights the urgent need for awareness and efforts to protect water resources, combat thefts, and prevent tampering with the system to ensure a sustainable water future for Jordan.
