Abstract:
تعد المياه من العوامل الطبيعية الضرورية في عملية التنمية الاقتصادية بشكل عام والزراعية بشكل خاص، الا ان هذه الموارد تعاني من جملة من المشاكل منها التغيرات المناخية وما ينتج عنها من تغيرات في الهطول المطري والثلوج اذ تشكل تلك الظاهرة تاثيرا مباشرا في ا | Water resources in Iraq face many challenges such as meeting basic needs, security the food and governing water wisely. This would require the preparation of a detailed strategic plan and assessment of the current state of water security in order to identify the handicaps.The aim of this thesis is to build water budget in Iraq until 2025 to show the relationship between supply and demand of water.The thesis provides a discussion of the many items of the budget, together with some possible costs. The discussion is mostly descriptive, but quantitative estimates are included for one aspect of the problem : the effect of water surplus upon economics and agriculture growth.The hypothesis adopted in this thesis is that Iraq will never face water deficit in the Long - term. The thesis divided into three chapters. The first of which considers water security in Iraq, and the impact of the policies adopted by neighboring countries (Turkey, Iran and Syria).An effort was made to show the handicaps which hinder the growth of agriculture by using indices in order to reach some suggestions to overcome them.The second chapter, studies the effective factors in agricultural development through the national plans and investment programs for the period (1951 - 2025).In the third chapter, the future water budget was constructed until 2025. The items of input and output of water were determined in such budget.The results of the analysis showed that Iraq will not suffer from water deficit in current and future period.Finally, some conclusions and recommendations were reached. Most of them show the necessity of the contribution of water resources in economic and agricultural development and increasing the benefits of water surplus.
