{Locality: Al-Furat News} The Director General of the Kurdistan Region Dams Department, Akram Ahmed, warned that the water situation in the dams of the Kurdistan region is "very bad," indicating that the water scarcity this year will affect the citizens significantly.

Noting that "this does not justify cutting off the water by the neighboring countries to Iraq, especially Iran, which cut off the flow of water to the Sirwan River completely."

"
