Decrease in Water Inflows Prompts Authorities to Reduce Mosul Dam Releases

Informed sources reported a reduction in water releases from the Mosul Dam into the Tigris River, bringing the rate down to 750 cubic meters per second, following a period of stability at 1,000 cubic meters over the past few days. This technical measure was attributed to a decline in water inflows from upstream countries, necessitating intervention by relevant authorities to recalibrate discharge rates and preserve the lake's strategic reserves. This step is part of flexible water resource management aimed at ensuring diverse needs are met and securing water sustainability amid climate challenges and declining river levels.
