    Baghdad Today - Baghdad
    Water sector expert Adel Al-Mukhtar revealed, today, Sunday (August 25, 2024), the tragedy of the Euphrates Basin in Iraq, while indicating that the water storage in the Haditha Dam is less than 25%.
    Al-Mukhtar told Baghdad Today, "The Euphrates Basin in Iraq is witnessing a real tragedy that began months ago, especially since the water discharges coming from Turkey and Syria are very weak and do not heal a wound," stressing that "the situation is becoming more complicated with time."
    He added that "the storage of Haditha Dam is less than 25%, amid difficulty in maneuvering with the low storage," indicating that "the most affected are the governorates located on the Euphrates River basin at the present time."
    Al-Mukhtar continued: “Part of the water problem in Iraq is mismanagement, as it was possible to release more than two billion cubic meters of water from the Mosul Dam towards the Tigris River and from there to Lake Tharthar in order to create a balance that would lead to an increase in the rate of releases with the onset of the peak season in the summer, especially since the Mosul Dam’s storage exceeded the so-called safe storage by 4 meters due to the floods and heavy rains during the current season.”
    He pointed out that "the marshes are suffering a real setback with increasing fish mortality and water recession," stressing "the necessity of adopting other solutions that contribute to creating a balance in the flow of water between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to overcome water crises."
    It is noteworthy that MP Aref Al-Hamami, on Friday (August 16, 2024), identified what he called the geography of drought in Iraq, indicating that Parliament fears the consequences of this file, especially with regard to displacement.
    Al-Hamami said in an interview with Baghdad Today, "The situation of the southern governorates that depend directly on the waters of the Euphrates River as a lifeline is suffering from a drought crisis, especially Nasiriyah and its vast marshes."
    He added that "the geography of drought is hitting more than 14 regions in general in the south of the country at varying rates, but the marshes are the most affected at the present time," stressing "the existence of a series of contacts with the Ministry of Water Resources in order to seek a roadmap through increasing revenues and pushing for the crystallization of agricultural patterns that depend primarily on drip irrigation experiments in order to move in the file of making better use of the available water."
    Al-Hamami pointed out that "drought in Iraq has three consequences: displacement, poverty, and diseases, and this is what we do not want in large areas," noting that "the agricultural areas in the south of the country are the most affected by drought and the lack of water revenues."
    The drought that has hit Iraq over the past five years has had many negative effects on all sectors in the country, but the effects on the environmental reality were the most obvious, as they were not confined to one governorate or region. Out of 80 million acres, only 14 million acres can be cultivated, and desertification has worsened, as well as the increase in the salinity level in the soil.
