Arab Weather - The Brides' Pool, one of the rarest natural pools in the north of the Kingdom, has completely dried up after a period of continuous decline in water levels over the recent period, threatening serious environmental repercussions for the local ecosystem.

The Bride's Pool is a unique environmental landmark in Irbid Governorate, as it once constituted an integrated ecosystem that housed various species of migratory birds and wildlife. It was also considered an important natural outlet for the region's residents.

Climate change is the most prominent cause.

According to environmental experts, the declining rainfall in recent seasons, coupled with rising temperatures and increased evaporation rates, has directly contributed to the acceleration of the drought, leading to the lake's complete disappearance.

Experts warn that the disappearance of such natural ponds negatively impacts the ecological balance, threatens the extinction of some local species, and could transform the region from a vibrant ecological site into a barren one devoid of biodiversity.

This pool is one of the rarest environmental landmarks in the north of the Kingdom, once a rich ecosystem home to migratory birds and wildlife. This scene serves as a warning of the dangers of climate change and the dwindling natural water resources in Jordan, and calls for urgent action to protect what remains of the region's biodiversity.
