The advisor to the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government on energy and natural resources believes that it is necessary to pay more attention to the construction of basins and dams.[/size]
[size=45]Dr. Bawar Khansi, advisor to the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government for energy and natural resources, said about the impact of the rain wave, so the Kurdistan Regional Government revived the water sources in the region.[/size]
[size=45]The KRG adviser attributed the emergence and complexity of the water problem in Iraq to climate change, low rainfall, water withdrawal by neighboring countries, and the lack of good management to manage the water issue.[/size]
[size=45]In this context, a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government visited Baghdad on Thursday, April 13, 2023 to discuss the issue of water and how to manage the waters of dams, and met with the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Iraqi government.[/size]
[size=45]The Kurdistan Regional Government has decided to provide at least 25 pounds. of water annually for citizens and not having to go to cities to get water, which will exacerbate more. The delegation of the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources expressed its satisfaction with the KRG plan and expressed their support for this purpose. He said that ponds should be built in all Iraqi cities “because water is scarce in Iraq and the citizens need it.[/size]
[size=45]And the KRG advisor continued: “The amount of water in Iraq has decreased significantly. In 2020, there were about 53 billion cubic meters of water, but now the amount of water in the four main dams in Hadisah, Mosul, Dokan and Darbandikhan reaches eight billion cubic meters. meters less than in 2020.” According to the expert in the field of energy and natural resources, the Kurdistan Regional Government felt in 2008 that Iraq and the Kurdistan Region would face water problems in the future and considered it necessary to start building dams to confront this problem. Khansi believes that had it not been for the ponds and dams in the Kurdistan Region, the impact of the rains that covered the cities and towns of the region a few days ago would have been much greater.[/size]
[size=45]The Director General of Water Resources at the Ministry of Agriculture and Resources in the Kurdistan Regional Government, Karwan Sabah Hawrami, said on Saturday, April 1, 2023 in a statement to Kurdistan 24: “It was approved to establish 37 ponds in the Kurdistan Region at a cost of about 27 billion dinars, in addition to four other ponds in financial approval stage.[/size]
[size=45]He explained, “Last year, we received approval for 41 pounds, some of which are in progress, and up to 40 percent of the works have been implemented, some of which have been offered for musataha, and some of them suffer from land problems.”[/size]
