MOWR: amount of rain raised the water reservoir in three dams

BAGHDAD-INA

The Ministry of Water Resources announced Sunday that the rains that have fallen over the past two days have raised the water reservoir in three dams, while inviting a group of owners of aquariums.
 
"The rains, particularly those focused on the northern region as well as northern Mosul, Salah al-Din and Kirkuk will be of great importance in increasing the water reservoir, specifically in the Mosul Dam, Aledheim Dam and Dokan Dam," Ministry of Water Resources spokesman Ali Radhi told The Iraqi News Agency (INA).

"The timing of the rains is good for increasing the water treasury and the optimal use of these waters," Radhi said, noting that "part of this rain, which is concentrated on the eastern side, is of great importance, especially the Diyala Khanaqin, which contributes to the increase of the water treasury in Derbandkhan, Hamreen, as Diyala province is the most water-scarce province in the past period."
 
"We also note that flood is well received in the lower Zab River and also the khabur river has been very well managed," he said, adding that "the importance of these revenues in the Khabur River lies in the fact that it supports and increases the water treasury in the Mosul Dam."

"The Ministry of Water Resources, with all its cadres, is working to benefit and within well-thought-out plans of all the water coming to Iraq, whether it is stored in dams and reservoirs, strengthening the water treasury or what is coming to the rivers," he said.
 
"We must point out an important point, as we always and annually at such periods call on the transgressors on the river section or river streams to prevent these excesses and the participation of local government teams or civil defense to prevent river basins in general because this negatively affects flood waves and as a result the process of lifting them is very important for the safety of the citizen and the safety of rivers."
