Legal analyst: Water attacks may threaten national security
The article focused on the efforts of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation in Jordan to combat water violations and theft, which threaten water security and the economy. It noted that some violations have reached the level of national security crimes, with a trend toward enacting stricter laws that combine penalties under the Water Law and the Economic Crimes Law. The file of violations in Aqaba was referred to the State Security Court after investigations revealed water thefts totaling approximately 17 million Jordanian dinars. The report also clarified that the Ministry of Water carried out extensive inspection campaigns, and compliance among farmers and citizens increased after oversight efforts. However, violations still cause significant water losses, with more than 133,000 water violations recorded since 2013, leading to an estimated loss of half a million cubic meters of water each month.
