    Climate change is still a concern, and it shows its ugly face in the Middle East region. Threatening to disrupt its hydroelectric stations spread across rivers, as is the case in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Iraq.

    Rather, the situation of the two rivers has reached the point where their bottoms appear at the banks in the governorates located to the south and southeast[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

    This deterioration is attributed to climate change, declining rainfall rates in the region, and the growing unsustainable use of water, in addition to the practices of upstream countries -[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And Iran - which contributes to the drying up of the two rivers, such as building dams.



    During the first half of last year (2023), global production of hydroelectric energy suffered a historic decline of 8.5%, and China, the largest producer of that energy in the world, accounted for three-quarters of this decline after its main rivers and reservoirs dried up, according to the Specialized Energy Platform (based in Washington). .

    This decline in hydropower production resulted in a slight increase in global carbon emissions during the aforementioned period, despite a 12% global increase in solar and wind energy production.

    The El Nino climate phenomenon is a periodic shift in the ocean and atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific Ocean. What affects the weather around the world.

    With the water crisis expected to worsen in a hot world, the inevitable pressures on irrigation and fresh water supplies extend to hydroelectric power generation, which is a low-carbon source that relies on flowing river water, according to a report published by the Radio website.[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/entity/120971/%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%8A%D8%AA%D8%B4%D9%87 %D9%81%D9%8A%D9%84%D9%87/ar/]Deutsche Welle[/url](Deutsche Welle) German.

    Hydropower is the largest source of clean electricity generation in the world, and there is a need to double the capacity of that energy by the middle of the current century (2050) if the world wants to reduce the steady increases in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius, according to recommendations.[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/entity/2348727837/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D9%83%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A9 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A9 %D9%84%D9%84%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%82%D8%A9 %D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%AC%D8%AF%D8%AF%D8%A9/ar/]International Renewable Energy Agency[/url]"Irina."

    Accordingly, the decline in hydropower production serves as a warning shot that this could affect global “green transition” efforts.
