          Recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Expedite execution of the Southern Gezira irrigation project, with active support from Nineveh\u2019s authorities.<\/li>\n
          2. Complete construction of the concrete cutoff wall at Mosul Dam to stop under\u2011foundation seepage; begin full reservoir filling to support power generation and other uses.<\/li>\n
          3. Develop western Nineveh\u2019s water resources by studying groundwater for scientific, cost\u2011effective irrigation\u2014e.g., a dam on Wadi Al\u2011\u2018Ajij in Al\u2011Ba\u2019aj District.<\/li>\n
          4. Consider enhancing the Tigris channel through Mosul\u2014from Al\u2011Rashidiya to beyond the Fourth Bridge\u2014to enable river\u2011boat navigation and boost tourism.<\/li>\n
          5. Involve University of Mosul experts in ministerial negotiations with Syria and Turkey on Tigris water\u2011sharing.<\/li>\n
          6. Reevaluate the proposal for Al\u2011Qaim Dam on the Khazir River\u2014or divert part of Khazir flows to the Khoser\u2014to improve its ecology.<\/li>\n
          7. Explore transferring Mosul Dam\u2019s water via pipelines to southern Iraqi cities.<\/li>\n
          8. Enforce sanctions against unauthorized abstractions from the Tigris and Khoser rivers by relevant authorities.<\/li>\n
          9. Launch public education and outreach on water conservation, recognizing water as a national asset.<\/li>\n
          10. Establish appropriate water\u2011use tariffs to incentivize efficient consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
