| Abstract | ||
| Iraqi and Syrian water policies are based on the reality of their available water resources, how to meet the demands for domestic, agricultural, industrial, health and developmental human uses, and the amount of water deficit they suffer from due to the increasing population and their requirements on the one hand, and Turkey’s control over most of their water resources on the other hand. Therefore, the water resources of each of them are limited and insufficient, and both suffer from a large deficit. They need to develop their water relations and develop their management of water resources and find appropriate solutions through scientific, technical, professional and political cooperation, and explore opportunities for bilateral cooperation aimed at developing water relations between them, by concluding an agreement to regulate the use of shared international waters in a way that serves the common interests of the Iraqi and Syrian peoples. This research was divided into two sections. The first section dealt with the internal environment represented by the strengths and weaknesses of the Iraqi-Syrian water relations, while the second section dealt with the external environment represented by the available opportunities and threats facing the Iraqi-Syrian water relations. | ||
