Yarmouk River

After 1948

On 8 July 2025, Jordan and Syria signed an agreement to share water from the Yarmouk River after talks at the Al-Wehda Dam. The two countries signed a deal to monitor water use together and fix problems like illegal wells. Jordan plans to try cloud seeding to increase rainfall, and Syria offered to give Jordan extra water over the summer of 2025. Both sides called the talks positive and a step toward better regional cooperation.
