Water warns of per capita drop to 31 m³
The article focused on the increasing attacks on water sources in Jordan and their significant impact on the water supply system. Since the beginning of 2023, the amount of water stolen has exceeded 77 million cubic meters, with over 50,000 violations, all aimed at illegally acquiring water. Attacks on household connections alone have totaled over 16,000 incidents in 2024, resulting in thefts of more than 20 million cubic meters. The amount of water affected by these violations in the pipelines of northern governorates has exceeded half a million cubic meters, while in the capital, it has reached about two million cubic meters. The report warns that if these attacks continue due to strict penalties being lacking, the individual water share could drop to 31 cubic meters per year in the coming years, down from the current 62 meters. This situation reflects escalating pressure on the water system and underscores the importance of intensifying monitoring campaigns to ensure water security and sustainability.
