Iraq digs 500 wells to combat water scarcity
The Kurdistan Region has similarly relied on digging wells to cope with water shortages. Authorities in the capital Erbil plan to dig over 130 wells.
In order to address the serious water shortage in the nation, the Iraqi water officials have drilled at least 500 wells.
According to Ali Radhi, a spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Water Resources, the wells will provide both irrigation and drinking water, both of which have been severely impacted by the terrible drought Iraq is experiencing.
According to the official, there are more than 100 wells in the eastern province of Diyala, where farming has experienced acute water shortages.
Iraq, often known as the Tigris and Euphrates “Land Between Two Rivers,” is experiencing a severe drought that is made worse by a lack of precipitation and out-of-date farming methods. The reduction in the water supply has also been considerably impacted by dam development in Iran and Turkey.
Similar to other regions, the Kurdistan Region has relied on drilling wells to address its water scarcity. The government of Erbil intends to drill more than 130 wells.
According to the United Nations, Iraq is the sixth most vulnerable nation to the harmful effects of climate change. In addition to the drought, it has recently had a string of violent dust storms that have grounded flights and sent people to the hospital.
