Quneitra's Water Crisis and Israeli Impact
The Quneitra Governorate in southern Syria is experiencing a sharp decline in its water resources due to the impacts of climate change and Israeli attacks on water sources in the occupied Golan. The storage of the main dams has decreased from 83.38 million cubic meters to about 18 million cubic meters, a decline of up to 78%, as a result of years of drought and the depletion of groundwater. Israel controls approximately 30% of water consumption in Golan and is constructing water complexes and dams to support its agricultural projects. Meanwhile, Israeli patrols prevent access to the Syrian dams, hindering their monitoring and maintenance. This depletion threatens water security and increases the risk of drought, especially as Israeli incursions and the expansion of their control over water sources continue, at a time when the sector is suffering from a year of drought and occupation patrols prevent Syrian personnel from inspecting and maintaining the water sources.
