    Mr. President delivered a speech in which he touched on the significant effects of climate change and the water crisis on the environment and agriculture, indicating that the causes of water scarcity are due to several fundamental factors related to climate and the resulting lack of rainfall, high temperatures, drought, and desertification, as they are considered factors beyond human control. In this regard, he indicated that there are diligent efforts being made to use water harvesting to take advantage of rain and snowfall in areas of the region and to follow modern methods to store it in lakes through strategic storage and the construction of dams.
    The President of the Republic added that the other reason for water scarcity is related to Iraq's water sources that are located outside its geographical borders, and the upstream countries control the quantities of water flowing to the country through the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and their tributaries, indicating that there are no international or bilateral agreements to regulate the division of water between the upstream and downstream countries.
    The President of the Republic stressed that Iraq, through its relations with neighboring countries, in which the sources of rivers and tributaries are located, seeks to obtain a known and fair share that meets its water needs, as well as seeking to provide it with the operational plan of these countries and their projects to establish dams and projects on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that must be That it does not affect Iraq's share.
