    The Higher Executive Committee of the Marshlands and Antiquities in the province of Dhi Qar warned that the federal government and the Ministry of Water Resources ignored the demands of the Marshlands residents to address the water crisis, stressing that their patience has run out and that the Marshlands are not suitable for human use as well as other uses.
    "The Marshlands are facing a terrible drought caused by the lack of water releases in the winter season, in which we expected an increase in water releases to meet the shortage of water," said Hassan al-Asadi, vice-chairman of the executive committee of the marshlands and conservation in the province.

    He noted that "the patience of the Marsh population has been implemented and that the waters of the Marshlands are not suitable for human use as well as other uses."
    "The local government in Dhi Qar will not abandon the inhabitants of the marshes and will stand against anyone who tries to harm them," Assadi said, referring to "the approach of the Prime Minister and the House of Representatives to intervene to save them from the disaster of the water crisis and to develop real solutions to them." 
    The administration of Dhi Qar province called earlier Prime Minister Haider Abadi to intervene urgently to regulate the distribution of water and reduce the excesses of other provinces on the water quota of the province, and stressed that the water crisis caused a great tragedy for the local people as a result of the suspension of complexes and projects to clean drinking water, A humanitarian disaster that threatens life in the province and warns of an environmental, economic and commercial crisis.
