It also criminalizes all types ofassaulting against water and imposes deterrent penalties on every trespasser on water resources.Therefore, legislators in these countries have criminalized assaults on all sources of water and imposed penalties.This is done by our Jordanian legislator, whether in the Water Authority Act No. 18/1988 and its amendments to Act No. 17 of 2014 or through the provisions of the Jordanian Penal Code.
