Decline in Water Releases from Mosul Dam Warns of Worsening Water Shortage Crisis in Tigris River

Amid ongoing climate challenges and declining water revenues, water releases from the Mosul Dam into the Tigris River basin have recorded a significant drop, reaching new low levels. Sources concerned with the water file explained that this decline is an inevitable result of reduced water inflows from upstream countries. They noted that dam management is subject to precise calculations aligned with available revenues and actual consumption needs to ensure water security, despite assurances that current strategic reserves remain in a relatively stable condition.
