    Today, Wednesday, the Ministry of Water Resources announced a decrease in water reserves in Iraq by 60% compared to last year, while confirming that the percentage of water revenues with the general average is the lowest in 100 years.
    The Director General of the Ministry's National Center for Water Resources Management, Hatem Hamid Hussein, said in an interview with the National News Center that "water revenues reached approximately 35% of the general average, which is the lowest compared to the previous year," noting that "the revenues in the Diyala River The amount coming from Iran is estimated at 20%, while the Zab River is estimated at 40%, while our revenues in the Tigris River coming from Turkey are estimated at 35%, and the Euphrates River is also at 35% compared to the general average for the previous 100 years.”
    Hussein added, "These percentages came as a result of water scarcity for the third year in a row, especially since it is present in Iraq in particular and in the upstream countries Iran, Turkey and Syria, which affected the water revenues towards Iraq."
    He continued, "The water storage is less than 60% of last year, and the ministry is trying to manage the currently available storage in dams and reservoirs to complete the summer plan and keep part of the storage for the upcoming winter plan."
    He stressed, "The priorities of the ministry are to secure drinking water on an ongoing basis and to reduce agricultural plans and expenses of the marshes based on the available storage according to a drought management plan drawn up in the strategic study of water and land resources in Iraq prepared in 2014."
    He pointed out that "the ministry's plan to use wells was ambitious for the current summer and last winter seasons, in agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture, as a result of the scarcity of water revenues, and a lot of renewable groundwater was exploited for agricultural and drinking water purposes."
    Hussein noted, “The agricultural plan that depends on groundwater for the summer season is estimated at one million dunams, which is equal to the agricultural plan of surface water,” expressing his hope that farmers “will not exceed and drain this water because it is water that is supposed to be sustainable for the purpose of sustaining its use.”
    He explained, “There has been more than one workshop on this topic, which needs in-depth studies for the purpose of its use,” stressing that “there is a real tendency for the Iraqi government with all its institutions to study this topic in more depth to invest it in the coming years because the seasons of scarcity according to the known frameworks will be more during the periods. coming.”
