University of Basra organizes a seminar on the efficiency of water services in Al-Madina district
The Center for Basra and Arabian Gulf Studies organized a scientific seminar entitled: "An analytical study of the efficiency of water services in the city district - northern Basra Governorate".
The seminar analyzed the causes of the water scarcity and pollution crisis, the health effects resulting from the spread of skin diseases, and the comparison of the large variation in the concentrations of pollutants for the years 2023 and 2025 according to the tables announced by the Basra Water Department.
The seminar concluded by identifying the factors for this issue, which is summarized in the decrease in the levels of the Euphrates River and the increase in sedimentation in it, as well as the poor planning resulting from the discharge of sewage into the river basin, which calls for urgent action to solve the crisis in the district by establishing a water production and desalination plant on the banks of the Euphrates with a production capacity commensurate with the population expansion in it.
