Member of Parliament, Riyadh Al-Masoudi, confirmed today, Saturday, that Iraq's water revenue has decreased by 70% due to the new water war, while pointing to confronting desertification in need of strategic projects that cost imaginary amounts and extend for long periods of more than 25 years.
Al-Masoudi said in a press statement, "Desertification in Iraq is caused by the sharp decrease in rainfall, which does not exceed 150 mm per year, which are limited quantities, and this situation is present in all neighboring countries except for Turkey," noting that "confronting desertification needs strategic projects that extend for long periods of up to To more than 25 years, by cultivating desert areas and implementing the green security belt, which starts from Sinjar in the north to Zubair in the south.
Al-Masoudi added, "Desertification is a climatic factor, but unfortunately the previous governments did not take any measures to confront the state of desertification, which needs astronomical sums, and all of them in the current circumstance are not possible, given that the priority today is housing, roads, food, electricity and security."
He pointed out that “whoever sees Jordan sees it in the rainy season, it is working to prepare industrial basins to collect rain and benefit from it in agriculture and in the scarcity season. As for Iraq, despite the presence of all the raw materials to build basins in the desert that suffice for a whole year, but the reality now is that the water goes to the Tharthar, Habbaniyah and Al-Razzaza basins And the marshes, which are in those basins, evaporate. For example, the water of Al-Razzaza Lake evaporates annually, at least 2 billion cubic meters, which is sufficient for two European countries, Bulgaria and Hungary, for a whole year at a time when this water can be used in many projects that address water scarcity, and the oases of Ain The dates, which were inhabited by more than 80,000 people, and a tourist area today do not have a drop of water, and it has become a landfill.”
Al-Masoudi indicated that "Iraq's water revenue decreased from 1,700 cubic meters per second to 350 cubic meters by 70%, considering that the world today is heading to a war on water sources and river basins after it was previously a war on rivers and valleys, and the world today is in a state of drought, and that The water in the rivers from Baghdad to Basra is not suitable for anything, given that waste is dumped, power plants cool, and cement and petrochemical plants are dumped. An international mission came in 2006 to Iraq and confirmed that the water was not suitable for drinking.
He stressed that "the only solution today to develop the agricultural sector and overcome previous failures and challenges experienced by this vital sector in the water issue is to go to scientific agriculture, which does not need more than 5% of the current use of water through the adoption of distillation and sprinklers for irrigation."
