Environmental experts have issued stern warnings regarding the continuous deterioration of the Tigris River's water quality, emphasizing that the untreated discharge of sewage and industrial waste poses a severe threat to the country's water, health, and economic security. Experts noted that current measures remain limited to temporary fixes, calling for a comprehensive national program that includes building modern treatment plants and imposing strict penalties on violators. In a related context, environmental monitoring reports revealed an unprecedented surge in severe illnesses, such as kidney failure, directly linked to the extreme contamination of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers with toxic substances. These alarming developments have prompted legislative and judicial authorities to intervene and discuss the crisis, with directives to apply maximum legal penalties against the entities and institutions responsible for this environmental degradation that directly impacts citizens' lives.
