Aqaba farmers seek halt to water authority notices
The article discusses the financial measures imposed by the Palestinian Water Authority on farmers in the Jordan Valley and Tubas. These measures require them to pay large sums amounting to millions of shekels, accumulated over years, as charges for extracting groundwater from artesian wells. The residents express their concern about the impact of these demands on their living conditions and the sustainability of their agricultural activities, emphasizing that water is a primary source of livelihood for thousands of families in the area. They have called on the relevant authorities to review these decisions and alleviate the financial burden on farmers, clarifying that the overdue payments are due to decades-old arrangements that no longer align with the current reality. They warn that these issues increase the risks to ongoing agriculture and threaten the resilience of the farming community in the region.
