Iraqi Parliament Plans Environmental Funding
The article reviews the plans of the Parliamentary Committee for Agriculture, Water Resources, and Environment to finance environmental protection projects and address pollution in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. It highlights the importance of investing about two billion cubic meters of water annually in agriculture instead of discharging it into the two rivers, which could contribute to cultivating two million dunams with strategic crops and four million with vegetables. The article emphasizes the need to update environmentally unfriendly treatment plants and establish new ones through funding from the World Bank and the Iraqi-Chinese agreement, such as the wastewater treatment project in Baghdad, with a cost of $650 million. It also sheds light on efforts to amend the Environmental Protection Law to impose penalties for violations, aiming to safeguard environmental resources and reduce negative environmental impacts.
