agricultural plan
A spokesman for the Ministry of Water Resources pointed out that "the rice crop is linked to water releases, as it needs a large water consumption, and therefore it is not possible to allow the cultivation of this crop without restriction or rationing in order to preserve the water shares of the governorates that fall behind the governorates that produce this crop." which are Najaf and Diwaniya for the most part.

This requires permanent and continuous coordination with these countries to ensure the delivery of the water share.
Shamal pointed out that "Iraq's water situation is between stable and worrying, and it is linked to three basic issues with the water neighboring countries, which is the implementation of these countries' dams and major reform projects without coordination with the Iraqi side, and the policy of operating these projects, as well as the rain and snowfall in these countries." countries as source countries.
