The water crisis in Iraq has become a serious concern, especially in parts of the country that were ravaged by ISIS a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A special report on the water crisis in Iraq by Al Jazeera news agency mentioned the villages of Al-Ankur whose water reserves are running out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report says that 13,000 residents of this area are looking for a way to escape and leave it, but they have no way or means to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once a 140-square-kilometer body of water with a capacity of 3.3 billion cubic meters, Lake Habaniyeh in western Baghdad is rapidly drying up as the devastating water crisis spreads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iraq’s water problems, which are said to have arisen due to the decrease in the flow of the Euphrates River from Syria, have now reached a point where last week it was said that a well dug in one of the villages in this region could not reach water even after reaching a depth of 86 meters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This has made the lives of local people dependent on plastic water bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should be mentioned that areas like Habaniyyah were originally built as water reservoirs and tourist cities in the early 1980s during Iraq’s financial development and prosperity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
