The Iraq Green Observatory has warned of the recurrence of fish die-offs in Iraq's rivers and marshes, a phenomenon that has become an annual event directly linked to the water crisis and pollution. This year, two waves of die-offs occurred: the first in April, resulting in the death of over a thousand tons of fish due to pollution of the Tigris and Diyala rivers by sewage and industrial waste; and the second in August, caused by a decline in water releases despite reservoir levels reaching approximately 34 billion cubic meters. Fish die-offs have been recurring since 2018 due to low oxygen levels, algae blooms, untreated sewage discharges, poor water distribution management, and the absence of fundamental measures to address this issue—a threat to food security, ecological balance, and the livelihoods of thousands of families. The Observatory recommended improving water resource management, establishing early warning systems, and compensating affected farmers to prevent the crisis from worsening.
