    Al-Sumaria News - Local

    Minister of Water Resources, Aoun Dhiab, opened the door to a serious discussion about the increasing population compared to the decreasing water in Iraq. While water is not enough for agriculture now, with the increase in population, it will become insufficient even for drinking.

    While the Minister of Resources stressed that the best option to solve the water crisis and enhance the quantities of fresh water would be through desalinating seawater and purifying heavy water to reuse it again, like all countries, in televised statements. He pointed out that government estimates indicate that the country’s population will rise to 50 million during the year. 2040, while in 2100 the number will be much larger and will not be able to meet basic needs.



    Al-Sumaria News conducted a numerical review to verify the number of years that Iraq will find itself without sufficient drinking water for the entire population, assuming the population growth rate remains constant and the amounts of water revenues it currently receives remain constant.

    For example, in 2022, the per capita share of drinking water reached 349 liters per day. This means that Iraq’s need for all its residents of drinking water amounts to more than 15 billion liters, or 15 million cubic meters per day, which is equivalent to 5.5 billion cubic meters per year. .

    On the other hand, Iraq's average annual revenues currently reach 25 billion cubic meters per year, or more than 68 million cubic meters per day, or the equivalent of 68 billion liters per day, which means that if current revenues from water continue in their current state without decrease, they will be insufficient. Start drinking when Iraq's population reaches 195 million.

    Estimates of the Central Bureau of Statistics indicate that the number of Iraqis will rise to more than 51 million people in 2030, by one million people annually, and while the population currently stands at 43 million people, it will take 152 years for Iraq to have the current water supply become insufficient to cover the number of residents with drinking water. .

    But this is based on the assumption that the water will remain at its current level or that the growth rate will not increase, but in reality the water is constantly decreasing and will not remain at its current rate, in addition to the fact that the annual growth rate of the population will not stabilize at one million people annually, but rather it is expected to rise more during The coming years, which makes the number of years during which Iraq will not find water for all its residents, not 150 years, but perhaps less.
