03/6/2018 12:00 am [rtl]BAGHDAD / Huda al-Azzawi The Ministry of Water Resources stressed that Iraq will suffer during the current summer season of scarcity of water because of the lack of precipitation precipitation, which contributed to reducing the country's strategic reserves by eight billion cubic meters compared to previous years, confirming coordination with ministries to overcome the water crisis during the coming period. In the meantime, the ministry confirmed the low levels of storage in the Mosul dam to three billion cubic meters compared to eight billion last year. Reduction of Iraq's water stocks Advisor to the Ministry Zafer Abdullah Hussein explained in an exclusive interview to «morning»: The main reason for water scarcity in Iraq for the current summer season is the lack of rainfall on the Tigris and Euphrates, which is close to 40 percent of the rates of the past ten years, Was not fair this year in Iraq, putting the strategic reserves by eight billion cubic meters than in the past ten years and this is a huge shortage of stocks over the past years. He added that there are many indicators for the current season indicate that the summer for the current year will suffer from a shortage of water, adding that these risks called for the ministries of sectors to take the necessary measures to mitigate the harm to citizens for the current season, and we made recommendations to the Prime Minister and approved after The formation of a water crisis cell headed by the Minister of Resources and the membership of other ministries dealing with water, such as agriculture, industry, oil, interior, defense and the Iraqi media network, which had a prominent role in the dissemination of plans to avoid the dangers of water scarcity. Hussein said that many of the ministries concerned began work to achieve some practical achievements on the ground where the Ministry of Electricity converted the cooling systems to Nasiriyah thermal station, and solved the problem existing in modern electricity, in addition to the participation of the leadership of operations Rafidain lifting abuses in more than one area in Iraq In order to overcome the problem of water scarcity in the southern region. Providing drinking water He stressed that the safe thing is to provide drinking water to citizens, but the problem lies in the drinking water for areas that are away from the main sources of water, which are located on the tables covered by the parachutes, which is programmed for the water of the power stations, which will suffer from scarcity, calling on the Ministry of Municipalities to provide drinking water for these communities The population will be affected because of its location and its dependence on programmed cutting systems until the end of this problem, stressing in the same effect, affected the city of Basra, the high proportion of salts in them, the Marshlands will certainly suffer from the decline of water revenues, which lives about 750 thousand people. According to the Ministry of Resources adviser, 75% of Iraq's consumption is for the agricultural sector. The Ministry of Water Resources is not responsible for the quality of the crop, but its responsibility lies in the provision of water release requirements, stressing that the water quotas that will be launched will suffice. The Ministry will provide water for 600,000 dunums planted with vegetables, equivalent to 50% of the total agricultural plan for the summer season. Talks early on the impact of the Aliso dam The ministry confirmed on Saturday that it is still too early to comment on the effects of the filling of the Elissu Dam in Turkish territory on the Tigris River levels, which the Turkish side began to fill on June 1 according to the agreements. The ministry's adviser Zafer Abdullah said in a press statement that the filling of the dam will affect several directions, but the allegations of lower levels of the Tigris at the present time, unfounded while the impact will be clear in the future, noting that the release of water from the Turkish side through the Tigris was open earlier, After running the dam by 90 cubic meters per second according to the last agreement with the Turks two weeks ago. He added that another meeting will be held at the site of the Mosul dam on the first of November to see the water levels of the dam, which fell to the lowest levels in the history of its construction, pointing out that the Marshlands will be the first affected by the operation of the Alesso dam, The crisis, which is the problem of membership of several ministries for this purpose that the impact does not extend to the level of drought and population migration, but said that his ministry will provide the lowest level of drowning the depths of the labyrinths. Lower levels of dam connector Meanwhile, the director of the Mosul Dam project, Riad Ezzeldin, announced on Saturday the decrease in the amount of water, adding that the quantities of water coming from Turkey decreased by 50 percent. "The storage water levels in the dam have fallen to more than 3 billion cubic meters from last year, which amounted to more than eight billion," Ezzeddine said in a press statement yesterday. "The quantities of water coming from Turkey fell by a record level yesterday, About 390 cubic meters per second compared to last year, which was up to 700 cubic meters per second, which fell to about 50 percent ». He added that «the agreement of the Ministry of Resources with the Turkish side to ensure that the operation of the Alesso dam by the end of June, as the summer season will be over with other water plans for irrigation», adding that «the water crisis needs solutions between Iraq and Turkey because Turkey is also talking About the lack of water in the tributaries of the river ». "The operation of the Alesso dam and other dams will have a direct impact on the decrease in water imports to the Mosul dam and the Tigris River," he said. "Iraq is experiencing a period of drought and low rainfall, which has reduced the country's water reserves." The Iraqi Ministry of Water Resources has prevented the cultivation of a number of agricultural crops in the country, including the drought because of the drought that hit Iraq. This comes after NASA warned in a new study of significant freshwater declines in 19 hotlands around the world, particularly in Iraq and Syria. The recent increase in the dependence of the two countries on groundwater is the result of twenty-two dams established by Turkey on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers over the past three decades, making the region one of the largest in the world.[/rtl] [rtl][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] [/rtl] |
