I'm Iraqi and I studied this subject in depth. From the rain the last 8 months Iraq National reserve of water increased from 6 or 10 billion meters into 30 or 40 and for the first time in 10 years is actually getting better
-
Iraq has been in decline for decades, this looks like it's just going to tip it over the edge.
-
In the future, we will fight for water rather than oil.
-
Curiously, 4000 years ago, the Neo Sumerian civilization was brought to utter collapse because of water scarcity, terrain exploration and salt pollution related to extensive agricolture across 3 millenia. Man has a very short historical memory.
-
This is precisely why China can never give up tibet- That's where all it's water comes from.
-
Damn Iraq and Egypt are basically time bombs at this point...sigh.

In 1258ad the Mongol hordes stormed the great city of Baghdad and systematically annihilated every man woman & child within the city walls. The Tigris ran red with the blood of Baghdad's people, and black with the ink of a million documents carefully maintained by the greatest scholars of this epoch. One of the world's great cities was no more. It can be argued that 800 years later Baghdad has never recovered.

Iraq should have less children,2 children for couple could be sustainable

I'm from Iran and Shirvan is right. Iraq's problem is not only bad for Iraqi people. Here in Iran's south we face the sand storms that come from Iraq and it makes our life really hard. Me and my family leaved south of Iran just because of bad weather condition 😢. Also we have water scarcity here and we can not drink our house water because it's bitter and we have to filter it again or buy water from the store.
-
One of the cradles of civilisation, reduced to this. I hope Iraq can recover.
-
One thing that gives some solace: everyone realizes this is a problem and everyone is trying to help.
-
Can't Iraq use its oil as leverage to negotiate a better water deal with Turkey?
-
Watching this with a 48 degree Celsius and broken down electricity grid
-
Iraq population in 1955 - 6.4 million , today 2024 - 46,5 million people. UN predictions for 2050 - 74 million people. Terrible combination with climate change and more people 😢
-
Such a rich country in paper, yet in reality Iraq is in such disarray. Rough pass and a sad future.
-
Your reports are a treasure trove of interesting information… I thoroughly enjoy your work… Thank you.

I think the content of this video is okay. However, the current trajectory of the government in Iraq is one of a somewhat stable political outlook. The new government in Iraq has already started water reforms in the country including modern irrigation methods, new water trearies with Turky and Iran and investing in water desalination plants in the South. I don't think it is extremely doom and gloom as you allude to in the video. There is definitely hope and change is coming.
-
As an Iraqi, the title gave me anxiety.
-
Thank you for making these videos.
