The College of Education for Human Sciences at the University of Basrah organized a workshop on the impact of sewage water on the water of the internal rivers in Basra.
The workshop aimed to identify the problems and negative practices of the water environment in Basra that led to the pollution of its water, as well as the most important sources of river water pollution represented by sewage and solid waste, in addition to testing the water quality of these rivers according to the standards and permissible environmental limitations.
The workshop recommended the necessity of forming a main committee concerned with water pollution in Basra governorate, from which sub-committees in the district councils would be launched and activating their role by giving them the necessary powers to hold violators accountable in coordination with the health control and environmental protection committees.
