"
Al-Nasseri warned of "threatening the lives of citizens because of the water crisis and the resulting migration of the affected areas and environmental damage and risks to biodiversity as well as the file of the Marshlands join the list of world heritage and the loss of efforts made in this direction," stressing the need to stand Seriously to support the Marshlands file by the Iraqi state and international organizations. "
For his part, accused the commander of Rafidain operations, Major General Ali Ibrahim Aldabdun during the press conference, "some managers of water resources in the provinces of the ruthless to cooperate with the leadership of operations Rafidain in determining the quality and places of abuse in their provinces to deal with them legally and work to lift them. Daboun confirmed the issuance of firm orders to police leaders in all provinces to lift all kinds of abuses on rivers and water projects to secure the water quota of the southern provinces.
"The Dhi Qar government appeals to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to intervene immediately to address the water crisis in the province and protect its agriculture and its economy threatened to collapse," said the head of the Higher Agricultural Committee, the first deputy governor of Dhi Qar Adel al-Dakhili, "criticizing the inability of the Ministry of Water Resources to deal with The water crisis and bypassing the provinces on the share of Dhi Qar of water resources "He called Dakhili that" the management of the water file, a central scientific management to ensure the equitable distribution of all the provinces, "noting that" the water crisis in the province of Dhi Qar requires immediate intervention by the Prime Minister and the federal government to organize the process Distribution of water and limit the excesses of the riparian counties on the water quota ".
Al-Dakhili pointed out that "the water crisis has confused the agricultural plan and caused a great tragedy for most of the residents of the cities who are complaining about the cessation of complexes and projects to clean drinking water as a result of dry water sources." For his part, director of water resources in Dhi Qar, Engineer Hussein Ali Kanani, "the decline of water discharges in the Euphrates and Gharaf rivers largely because of bypassing the provinces, especially Wassit and Muthanna on the water share of the province of Dhi Qar."
"The planned quota for the province of Dhi Qar from the waters of the Tigris River, which reaches from the province of Wasit across the Gharraf River, should be estimated at 150 cubic meters / second, but recently decreased to less than 113 cubic meters / second Because of abuses from the province of Wasit. "
Kanani pointed out that "the drains of the river Gharraf did not reach 150 cubic meters / second even in the best cases because of excesses and water scarcity," stressing that "this reflected negatively on the winter agricultural plan for the province of Dhi Qar, 90 percent of which depends on the waters of the river Gharraf" .
"Overflow on water quotas has led to lower water discharges and levels throughout the province," Kanani said.
He explained that "the discharge of the Euphrates River scheduled to enter from the province of Muthanna to the province of Dhi Qar range between 90 - 100 cubic meters / second, but the current discharges estimated at 68 cubic meters / second," pointing out that "Muthanna province exceeds the share of the province more than 20 cubic meters / second ".
The director of water resources in Dhi Qar, "the impact of the agricultural plan for the winter season of these abuses and the areas of the marshes where it was planned to allocate 70 percent of water from Muthanna province to the areas of the marshes."
The central administration of the Chabaish district has warned of the dangers of drought and water scarcity on the marshes, while the central provinces have been accused of bypassing the water reserves of the southern governorates and the marshes, calling on the House of Representatives to legislate a law to protect marshes and preserve water levels and revive life there.
On November 8, 2017, the local government in Dhi Qar province threatened to sue the Ministry of Water Resources and Wasit Governorate against the backdrop of water shortage and over water quotas.
It is noteworthy that the Higher Agricultural Committee in Dhi Qar, expressed its objection on 2 October 2017 to reduce its agricultural plan for the winter season for more than 20 percent under the pretext of water scarcity, while warned the agricultural associations to exacerbate tribal conflicts in the province and its impact on the agricultural season as a result of many Overflows on rivers and streams. The Marshlands comprise five districts of Dhi Qar province, centered in Nasiriyah, and are divided into 10 administrative units out of 20 which are located in the governorate. In the early 1990s, the area of the Nasiriyah marshes is estimated to be 1 million and 48,000 dunums. In 2003 about 50 percent of the total area of the Marshlands of Nasiriyah.
