Dissi pipeline attack may disrupt water in Amman and Zarqa
The article focused on the ongoing attacks on water sources in Jordan, particularly on the Al-Diseh water system, which results in the wastage of approximately 5,000 cubic meters of water due to assaults on the transmission lines and pressure control devices. These attacks have increased significantly, rising from 37 incidents when the system was first operated to 1,853 in 2025, threatening the water supplies in the capital, Amman, and Zarka. The Ministry of Water and Irrigation is attempting to avoid stopping water pumping to prevent long-term supply interruptions, working to reduce pressures and perform regular maintenance. Meanwhile, current penalties—such as fines and imprisonment—are considered insufficient. The ministry believes that stricter penalties are necessary to ensure the protection of water sources, given the critical importance of water as a matter of national security.
