Prime Minister, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, confirmed that his government has prepared a plan to confront water scarcity, by building dams to harvest rainwater throughout Iraq.
Al-Sudani said in a dialogue session, attended by dozens of young men and women from the Kurdistan region and the rest of the Iraqi governorates: “We suffer from water scarcity in all governorates, including the Kurdistan region, and we suffer from climate change to the point that it has reached the stage of existential threat in many regions due to migration.” And the effects".
Al-Sudani added: “We have a scarcity of water and a rate of desertification, as well as the burning of associated gas, which in turn generates gases that affect the phenomenon of global warming. We also have environmental problems, despite the important steps in terms of infrastructure, especially wastewater networks, but we implemented the networks and did not implement the treatment plants.” Everything that is diverted from the sewage networks goes into the rivers, so we have a decrease in the water levels of the rivers, and this creates a disaster.
Al-Sudani explained: “Now I have a plan for the year 2024 to build treatment plants in all regions from Mosul to Basra, because this is related to health and the environment,” adding: “We have a problem with neighboring countries. They are preserving their water percentage and building projects, as they have been implemented.” Turkey has a group of dams through which it generates electrical energy, but at the expense of water releases on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and Iran, through the projects it carried out, changed the course of the rivers, which affected the nutrition of the subsidiary rivers that flow into the Tigris River, and this increased the problem.” He pointed out that “our efforts are within a diplomatic framework because we cannot escalate at the level of international organizations, because that takes time and affects the root of the problem,” noting that “the government has currently prepared a strategic plan to overcome this problem that can be announced for the first time in the Beeston Talk program.” It is related to water management, because our problem is in addition to these problems that I mentioned of climate change and the actions of neighboring countries, we have a defect in water management.” Al-Sudani pointed out that “most of our farmers now use the old methods of irrigation, but in the agricultural plan we set a price for the wheat crop for the farmer who uses the sprinkler irrigation system more than the price of wheat for the farmer who uses the traditional method of irrigation. This is happening for the first time and we must take care.” Thus, we take care of the water allocated for agriculture, which amounts to 65% of the amount of incoming water, so imagine the amount of water that will be saved by converting water management in the agricultural sector in a scientific and accurate manner to drinking water, which is an integrated management process, including wastewater.” Al-Sudani continued: “In all countries of the world, wastewater is diverted to agriculture, so you do not lose a portion of water revenues. We reassure everyone that we have drawn up a strategic plan, and it is hoped that it will be signed with the Turkish President during his soon visit to Baghdad. Al-Sudani explained: “Since 2003, we have not implemented any dam, due to the high costs and financial allocations, and because we did not take the matter seriously. In years we had an abundance of rainwater and we did not think strategically, and today there is rain,” indicating that “the crisis is global and not specific.” In Iraq, the latest reports indicate that the water level decreases every seven years, and within the plan we placed a group of dams in the Kurdistan region.
The Prime Minister described this plan as “integrated for all parts of Iraq, and we call them small dams to harvest rainwater, so that we can direct it to other uses. I am optimistic and convinced that this plan and this strategic project is the ideal solution to the water problem in a radical way, and I can confirm with the evidence of technicians and specialists.” “The water revenues we have, if we manage them well, will be sufficient for all human and non-human uses.”
