    Iraq's water security: ban the cultivation of "strategic crops" to provide fresh water to citizens

    The decision to halt the cultivation of rice and maize in Iraq came two days ago as part of measures taken by the state to face the water scarcity of the country and the threats it poses to the agriculture sector. The most important of these is the ban on the cultivation of strategic crops that are profitable or important for local consumption such as rice, Water.
    A letter from the Iraqi Ministry of Water Resources to the Office of Prime Minister Haider Abadi, that the ministry excluded rice and maize from the plan to grow summer crops for the season of water-intensive crops, to give priority to the provision of drinking water for citizens.
    Causes of water scarcity
    The water scarcity suffered by Iraq is due to several factors, most notably that Iraq is the downstream state of the Tigris River and relies on most of its water resources on the waters of rivers and streams that flow and flow from outside its borders.
    Most of the Iraqi waters are under the control of the upstream countries of the two rivers, foremost of which is Turkey, which has built dams and several water projects to enhance its water security, and Iran has also established water development projects that led to the decline of Tigris water flowing from the Aland River passing through the city of Khanaqin and the small Zub River in the city of Sulaymaniyah, The Kurdish.
    The water crisis in Iraq has worsened recently after Turkey began filling the huge Alissu dam on the Tigris River, a project Ankara has considered to be linked to national security considerations.
    drought
    The water level in the Tigris River in Iraq has declined significantly, which has been reflected in irrigation channels, which will undoubtedly affect the agricultural sector
    But Ankara stopped earlier this month to temporarily fill the dam reservoir after complaints from the Iraqi government that the dam damages its share of the Tigris River and exacerbates the water shortage crisis, and is expected to supply electricity to a large area in the southeast of the country.
    Climate change, which includes global warming, is contributing to an increase in water scarcity in Iraq. Iraqis circulated images of social media early this month for people crossing the river in Baghdad on foot after falling due to previous factors as well as the phenomenon of natural tides.
    Iraq is also suffering from increasing salinity of water, making it unfit for human and agricultural use, which is exacerbating water scarcity in Iraq.
    Egypt is following a similar experiment after Ethiopia, a Nile state, announced it was close to completing 70 percent of the dam, which is expected to affect Egypt's share of the Nile.
    Cairo has taken a decision to reduce rice cultivation in a number of governorates, since it is a plantation that consumes large quantities of water.
