Iraq is looking to increase its water revenues
14/6/2018 12:00 am [rtl]Is one of the pillars of national security Baghdad / Emad Al-Amara Water is one of the most important pillars of national national security in the world, especially in the dry regions. The countries that have water sources are very flexible in controlling the amount of water that reaches the countries that represent the river estuary. Political and economic pressures as needed. The problem of water The academic economist Abdul Latif Shihab explained that "Iraq in its efforts to increase its water revenues not to engage in problems with upstream countries on water, which has become a means of pressure used by these countries in foreign policy in particular, in light of the increasing population and economic development that need More water as well as food security requirements . " He continued: "The problem of water between Iraq and Turkey until after the change in 2003 without a solution and lies at the core of the problem in the contradiction of visions for both sides . Iraq considers the Tigris and Euphrates as two rivers and the Tigris Basin independent of the Euphrates basin, Turkey is considered Tigris and Euphrates Turkish rivers Crossing the border and they are one basin . " Shared water "This situation has led the country to emphasize the need to set a time limit for discussions to resolve the issue of water division between the two countries," said Shihab. "Iraq believes that each country has the right to draw up plans and policies to benefit from its share of the shared water as it sees fit. Taking into account the views of the parties involved. " "The position of Turkey does not accept the principle of division of water and does not recognize the acquired rights and the Tigris and Euphrates Basin as one case to cover the unfair and unreasonable use of the two rivers, in addition to its continuous efforts to prolong the negotiations to acquire the largest amount of water through the completion of construction projects dams and reservoirs And make it a reality, and the latest Eliseo, which is one of the largest dams built on the course of the Tigris. Alesso Dam "The seriousness of the Alesso project is comparable to that of the Ataturk project, which was built on the Euphrates River. The Elissu dam is located in Dar Ghajin, 45 km from the Iraqi-Syrian border. The maximum storage is 11.4 billion cubic meters, The conventional storage capacity is 4, 10 billion cubic meters 3. It can generate an annual electricity capacity of 3830 megawatts, meaning that it will save 300 million dollars of energy annually and will contribute to the irrigation of two million hectares of Turkish land Treasury Projects In the same context, said academic economist Dr. Ahmed Omar Narrator "Turkey has been established since the eighties of the last century many of the mentioned P irrigation for the development of cultivated areas that deliberately on the water of the Euphrates, to reach the total territory covered by these projects 6.9 million acres, and require 20.6 billion cubic meters cubic. Turkey plans to increase this area to about 7.5 million dunums by 2020, confirming the need for 22.5 billion 3 of the Euphrates water to Iraq, so it is expected to drop the water Euphrates received in Iraq in 2022 to 5, 9 billion cubic meters only. " (Turkey, Iran, Syria), especially Turkey and Iran, as the upstream countries, influence the natural discharge of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This leads to the fluctuation of the quantities of water supplied by the mentioned countries according to their interests without Taking into account Iraq's rights to such water, which seriously affects And therefore, it is difficult to adopt a national strategy for the development of irrigation agriculture in Iraq. " Drought years He stressed that "this fluctuation in the discharge of water to the rivers of the Tigris and Euphrates deprive Iraq to benefit from natural discharges to fill its reservoirs, thus depriving Iraq of the benefit of the reservoir, which regulates the quantities of water needed by the climatic conditions, especially in the drought years; The policies of upstream countries caused the poor water of the rivers, The storage of water in the tanks set up by Turkey reduced the levels of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
