Parliamentary Panel Examines Al-Azraq Agricultural Wells
The House Committee on Agriculture and Water held a meeting to discuss the status of water wells in the Azraq area, particularly those operating illegally, with the aim of regulating their use and protecting them. The committee emphasized the importance of addressing the current and productive wells, and establishing legal measures to regulate their situation in a way that safeguards farmers' rights while preserving groundwater resources. Participants stressed the need to support farmers and facilitate access to energy for operating the wells, alongside regulating the exploitation of public lands, considering the available water quantities and balancing the needs of the agricultural sector with the preservation of water resources. Officials also explained that rectifying the status of the wells requires legal consensus and relies on tools such as aerial imagery and electricity consumption data to ensure the protection and sustainability of groundwater.
