The Baghdad Municipality indicated that the citizen’s daily share of potable water is close to 400 liters, while noting that water scarcity in some areas is under control.
Baghdad Water Department Media Director Aseel Aziz told Al-Sabah: The per capita share of potable water is provided through 13 production projects and 124 water purification complexes on the Karkh and Rusafa sides.
She added that the quantities of pure water produced by the Secretariat's projects amount to four million and 250 thousand cubic meters per day, while the waste rate sometimes reaches 50 percent, or more than two million cubic meters per day. Aziz reassured the residents of the capital that there is no water shortage, attributing at the same time some interruptions that occur in some areas far from the pumping source to several reasons, most notably the fluctuation of the electrical current, but this matter is under control, as project generators are often used to secure pure water.
She added that other reasons are the violations occurring on the main lines carrying drinking water, and the population split represented by dividing the floors into small residential units, which caused pressure on the main system.
She explained that generators and emergency lines can only provide 50 percent of the capital's needs compared to daily production quantities. Aziz added that the secretariat police personnel, in coordination with the Baghdad Operations Command and municipal departments, are carrying out campaigns to remove and remove violations on the main lines and conveyor pipes after the violators used them to create fish lakes, as well as car wash garages whose owners overuse large quantities of produced water.
She pointed out that the department’s staff, in coordination with the water departments in the municipal departments, have completed the renewal of the potable water networks in 95 percent of the capital’s stores, after the end of their lifespan, to ensure the delivery of water at high pressures, away from breakage and leakage from the conveyor pipes.
