Water Releases from Mosul Dam Decrease Following Revenue Drop Amid Water Scarcity Warnings

Water Releases from Mosul Dam Decrease Following Revenue Drop Amid Water Scarcity Warnings

In light of climate challenges and declining water revenues, the Mosul Dam has recorded a new drop in water release rates into the Tigris River basin, falling to 450 cubic meters per second. Authorities responsible for water resources management explained that this reduction is a direct result of the decline in incoming revenues from upstream countries. The release operations are strictly managed by specialized central committees to ensure a balance between strategic reserves and river needs. Despite this decrease, indicators confirm that the dam's water situation remains at safe levels compared to previous years.
