Water resource management authorities have decided to reduce the release rates from the Mosul Dam into the Tigris River to 750 cubic meters per second, down from a steady 1000 cubic meters in recent days. This operational measure is a direct response to the decline in water inflows from upstream countries and primarily aims to maintain the necessary balance between available strategic reserves and actual consumption rates. The adopted discharge policy relies on precise technical and operational criteria to ensure the sustainability of water resources and secure the basic needs of various sectors amid ongoing environmental and climatic challenges.
