    [ltr]A DIGITAL REVIEW OF THE IMPACT OF THIS BATCH ON IRAQ (FACEBOOK)[/ltr]

    [rtl]Iraq is awaiting the arrival of quantities of water that Turkey is supposed to have released since March 5 to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, estimated at 900 cubic meters per second. Regarding this news, the "Ultra Iraq" team is conducting an inventory and review to find out what this quantity means and how much it will suffice from Iraq's needs.[/rtl]
    [rtl] Iraq's annual water needs for all needs are estimated at 53 billion cubic meters[/rtl]
    [rtl]A spokesman for the Ministry of Water Resources, Khaled Shamal, said in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] followed by "Ultra Iraq", that "the Iraqi delegation, which visited Turkey recently, submitted an official request to Ankara to release water to Iraq."[/rtl]
    [rtl]It is assumed that the releases began on March 5, but "their arrival may take several days," according to Shamal.[/rtl]
    [rtl]The request submitted to Turkey by Iraq includes raising water releases by 400 cubic meters per second from the Tigris River and 500 cubic meters per second from the Euphrates River, for a total of 900 cubic meters per second.[/rtl]

    [rtl]Amid the deepening of the drought crisis that Iraq has been witnessing in recent days, and with the approach of summer and the spread of scenes of low water levels in rivers dramatically, and the decrease in Iraq’s water reserves to only 7 billion cubic meters at the present time, it becomes necessary to know what this amount of water means and how it will affect on the Iraqi need.[/rtl]

    With an inventory of calculations conducted by "Ultra Iraq", the release of 900 cubic meters of water per second in the rivers feeding the country means that Iraq will receive 77.76 million cubic meters of water per day, and if this release continues at a constant rate for a full year, Iraq's water revenue will amount to about 28.4 percent. billion cubic meters per year.

    [rtl]This amount of water is even less than Iraq's water imports in 2021, but the water revenues of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers at that time amounted to 31.2 billion cubic meters, which means that it will be 9% less compared to the water received by Iraq in 2021, which is also a year of drought.[/rtl]

    [rtl]However, the other important indicator is the ministry spokesman Khaled Shamal's indication in another [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] that "this agreement will be for a period of one month only, during which the economic and water committees will work to reduce dependence on Iraq's water reserves and use the increase in facing the drought crisis."[/rtl]

    [rtl]This means that the total amount that Iraq will receive as a result of this agreement is only 2.33 billion cubic meters within a month, which is an amount equivalent to 32% of the current water storage, which indicates that this batch aims to "pass the last days of the winter agricultural season" and achieve the required water irrigation. instead of using the water in tanks.[/rtl]
    [rtl][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] indicate that the total water needs of Iraq for all needs annually is estimated at 53 billion cubic meters, which means that the payment requested by Iraq from Turkey, if it is completed, will provide only 53% of the total Iraqi demand for water in the normal situation.[/rtl]

    [rtl]This batch, although it will fill 53% of Iraq’s need for a short period, will be better than the current water releases, which amount to 398 cubic meters per second, according to Minister of Resources Aoun Diab, who said in a previous statement, “The amount of water entering the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] River It reached 198 cubic meters per second, while it was previously 290 cubic meters per second. From the side of the Tigris River, the quantities of water entering the water reached 200 cubic meters per second, while the exit from the reservoirs of the dams is 500 cubic meters per second. This means that the revenues of the Tigris and Euphrates currently do not exceed 12.5 billion. cubic meters annually, which represents only 23% of Iraq's need. As for the required payment, it will increase Iraq's water revenues by 55%.[/rtl]
