The problem of water is worsening .. and its heroes provincial councils
Baghdad / Zahraa al-Jassim
The severe water crisis that hit most of the Iraqi provinces has affected, according to those concerned, large areas of agricultural land, which harms the poor classes, especially farmers and others, and have a large economic cost detrimental to the country. While the concerned parties assert that it is an internal crisis par excellence, the provincial councils that try to acquire water quotas in various ways without taking into account the rights of neighboring provinces, they warn that the continuation of this crisis means that we will not achieve agricultural sufficiency to reach the food security, which we have long sought to achieve.
Several central and southern governorates have complained of water scarcity and lack of access to their water quotas. A number of governorates have accused each other of exceeding quotas allocated to each governorate. And where the Maysan provincial council announced its intention to file a lawsuit against the governments of Wasit and Dhi Qar provinces to "overcome" the share of the province of water, a deputy of Dhi Qar, the province is exposed to "disaster" because of the crisis of water scarcity to bypass some of the provinces in this regard, Prime Minister Haider Abadi to personally intervene to end the crisis.
The economic expert in the name of Antoine said in an interview with (the extent), that the agricultural output depends mainly on water, both in central and southern Iraq, while the northern part of the cultivation on the rains, so the contribution of agriculture to local production is large, The poor classes, such as peasants and others, especially since we have orchards of up to hundreds of years, and water scarcity means a real disaster for their owners, continuing the talk: This is also a large economic cost to the country, and here we instead of reaching agricultural self-sufficiency to achieve food security The shadow of water scarcity, which Will be followed by unemployment, because the farmer when the water is scarce Tibur has a lot of land, and will not be planted, which is an additional cost to the community and the farmer in the head.
Antoine believes: The most important point is that we have a lack of understanding with the neighboring countries that share with us rivers, whether Syria, Turkey or Iran, and here despite the efforts of the Ministry of Water Resources, but unfortunately, all are still below the level of ambition, and here Iraq can exert pressure on these countries in other ways through international organizations or through trade and tourism.
According to warnings to those concerned with agricultural affairs, if the situation is not remedied in some provinces, such as Najaf and others, the cultivation of rice is vulnerable to damage, resulting in large financial losses for the farmers themselves, as pointed out by the Chairman of the Mandali district in Diyala province Azad Mandelawi, where A thousand acres of agricultural land in the region because of drought, calling for urgent steps to end the water crisis in Mandali.
On the other hand, the consultant engineer and executor of irrigation water projects in the Ministry of Water Resources, Riyad Abdul Karim said in an interview with (the extent) that the problem lies in the random distribution of water quotas, which was due to wrong policies by the Iraqi state for decades, A strategy to preserve the water quota of Iraq, and this negligence may be intentional and unintentional because of the wars and problems experienced by the country later, but the saying: The emergence of this problem to the surface now due to two basic problems are water scarcity, and the problem of the region, we have shifted from sectarian quotas And sectarianism And so that every province is trying to acquire water quotas in various ways to the neighboring province.
The existence of another problem is the salinity in the water in the province of Basra, which has not been resolved until today, so we emphasize that the problem is internal excellence before being external, but within the provinces themselves, and then external laws related to international rivers and basins and riparian states, And the lebanon of the home front, which must be supportive of the government and the competent authorities in this file, pointing out that, and a simple study conducted as an example, every drop of water located in a house up to a month to waste water up to a cubic meter, and if we take this quantity on a thousand house, , The total will be debt A month a thousand cubic meters goes wasteful, and this is due to an unconscious water conservation and knowledge of its importance.
The Ministry of Water Resources has talked about the lack of water reservoirs in Iraq because of the lack of rainfall and the significant decline in the level of the Euphrates River, and warned the Directorate of Water Resources, in turn, farmers from exceeding the quota of water, as it will not launch any water increases to ensure that there is no shortage of drinking water .
