He pointed out that "the results of the drilling is to determine the direct drilling of productive wells in areas experiencing drought in order to minimize the effects on citizens."
"The water crisis has become a problem facing all regions of Iraq and the Middle East and requires radical treatments that guarantee the rights of all riparian countries," he said.
