Czech Republic warns of worsening water crisis in Iraq
First Deputy Minister of the Environment of the Czech Republic, Ivo Marcin, stated to the National Iraqi News Agency (NINA): "The assessment and identification of the water crisis and the situation in Iraq indicate a high level of danger; therefore, we must begin to effectively address these problems—at the very least, by taking one practical step."
He added, "I have compared the water situation in Iraq with that of the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic is located in the heart of Europe and serves as the source for rivers that flow into other European nations—a stark contrast to Iraq, where the sources of its rivers lie outside its borders, resulting in water reaching the country in only meager, polluted quantities."
The Czech government official emphasized, "We can offer a study to Iraq to identify and analyze water quality requirements. Furthermore, water must be managed wisely to ensure equitable distribution for everyone; this can be achieved through the use of modern water-related technologies."
He continued, "We have been cooperating with Iraq in the water sector for years, and I am here today to sustain and strengthen this cooperation. We look forward to receiving from the Iraqi side an outline of the challenges and requirements within the water sector, so that we may take a practical first step toward continuing the collaboration we previously initiated."/ End
