    Water resources management in Mosul Dam
    (İstanbul Gedik Üniversitesi, 2021) Sle, Ismail Ibrahem Othman; Ghasemlounıa, Redvan
    The rapid increase use of freshwater has enforced decision makers in most countries to pay more attention to water resources managements. Water is used for many daily activities such as drinking, cleaning, agriculture, manufacturing, and others. Therefore, the water scarcity can be a serious problem, and has to be fixed using good WRM plans and strategies. This study was constructed based on some problems. The crucial problem is that Iraq suffer from the lack in the water resources. The lack in water resources is a result of the increase in using water, which happened due to the rapid increase in population. The flow of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers have decreased for several internal and external reasons. In addition, the climate change has negative and significant impact on the quantity of water. The other problem is related to Mosul Dam which has damaged because of shortage of maintenance and other factors. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the performance of this Dam as part of WRM. The study tests whether this Dam can play a significant role in managing water resources in Iraq. The results of this study show that Mosul Dam still has significant impact on water supply system in Iraq. This result indicates that Mosul Dam has significant impact on WRM in Iraq. In other words, the dam still plays a significant role in the WRM system. The results show that water consumption has negative relationship with water supply, which is expected. However, the impact of water consumption on water supply is not significant. The results show that temperature (climate effect) has positive relationship with water supply, which is not expected. The results show that stored water has negative relationship with water supply, which is expected. This result indicates that water storages in Iraq are very important in the WRM system.
