Jordan protests Syrian ”violations” of water-sharing agreements
Jordan has sent a letter to Syria objecting to the cultivation of crops upstream and downstream on the Yarmouk River. According to a report published by Jordan Times on Sunday, the Jordanian side believes the farming activity is slowing the river's water flow and storage at Wihdeh Dam.
During a meeting of a technical subcommittee affiliated with the Jordanian-Syrian Committee of the Yarmouk River Basin, Jordan Valley Authority Secretary General Musa Jamaani told the Syrian envoys that violations of water-sharing agreements were "unacceptable."
