Last month, I visited the swamps of Mesopotamia in the south, and witnessed first-hand the many challenges that Iraq faces."

"The harsh reality is that water scarcity is not only an existing risk, it is also a risk multiplier: its potential impact on poverty, displacement and conflict has serious implications for Iraq's long-term stability and prosperity," Plasschaert said.

She stressed that "all stakeholders across the political spectrum must prioritize this as a shared responsibility, a critical issue that must be addressed urgently and seriously, to overcome the political divide and also, most importantly, Iraq's neighbors must engage in meaningful discussions on water sharing and resource management."    https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=188019
