| Abstract | ||
| The water problem is one of the most important problems facing Iraq at present because it is a downstream country and depends mainly on the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which are considered international rivers according to international laws, but neighboring countries consider them as cross-border rivers and have controlled the quantities of water imported to it and have become a state of water instability as a result of cutting or changing the flow of rivers in addition to the establishment of projects and dams, which contributed to the decline in water imports. The research aims to diagnose the extent of the damage suffered by Iraq and analyze the risks it suffers from due to the instability of water supplies. The research assumes that the policy followed by the upstream countries doubled the risks to Iraqi water security. The research concluded that these policies had effects and risks on political and economic stability as well as environmental risks, which were pollution, migration, desertification, and others. | ||
