Jordan enforces strict water theft penalties
Legal experts have revealed a new judicial approach that classifies serious attacks on water resources within the scope of anti-terrorism laws, considering that tampering with strategic water sources poses a threat to national security. Specialists explained that the penalties for these crimes will exceed traditional sanctions due to the significant damage they cause to national water security, especially with organized attacks on major transmission lines. The Ministry of Water and Irrigation announced the referral of water theft cases in Aqaba to the State Security Court after detecting violations worth millions of dinars that impacted the supply of water to citizens. To emphasize this, the ministry clarified that these attacks since 2013 represent a major challenge to economic and water security, and it continues raid campaigns to apprehend violators, reduce losses, and ensure fair water distribution.
