AMMAN — Secretary General of the Jordan Valley Authority Hisham Hisa, has urged citizens and farmers living near water bodies, dams, and the King Abdullah Canal in the Jordan Valley not to approach or swim in these non-designated areas.

The warning came due to the noticeable rise in temperatures, as it poses a significant risk to their lives.

In a statement issued on Monday, Hisa emphasised the necessity for farmers, agricultural unit owners, and residents in agricultural areas to clean the entrances of agricultural units and the surrounding areas of weeds to reduce the occurrence of fires.

He stressed the importance of taking the necessary measures amid rising temperatures to protect their crops and properties.

Hisa also called on farmers and citizens in the Jordan Valley areas to cooperate with the staff of the Jordan Valley Authority, which is fully prepared to provide assistance and cooperation through its directorates.

He urged them to contact the control centre of the Jordan Valley Authority at the following phone numbers: (053570594) or (0780469438).
