The Israeli civil administration is willing to demolish a 10-meter-deep water reservoir that is the only source of water for 20 Bedouin families in Umm Al-Jimal community in the Jordan Valley, claiming that it has no building permit.
According to PIC, the 20 families own 700 sheep and goats as well as 300 cows and some horses. Last year, a flood destroyed another holding reservoir that served the families, and blocked the spring’s exit.
The families are concerned that destroying the current pond will once more block the spring, which is their only close water source. A final injunction to demolish the pond was given in April 2012, but was never executed.
