Abstract
Water supply sustainability is related to our daily life and a very important issue and related for every people around the north part of Iraq. The NPI's water resources are in jeopardy. Climate change is evident in the region, and it is predicted to reduce output. The Tigris River and its tributaries, the Greater and Little Zab Rivers, as well as the Sirwan River. Extreme weather has afflicted the NPI over the last decade, ranging from droughts to torrential rainfall. For decades, water infrastructure has been neglected, environmental standards protecting water quality have been ignored, and water has been squandered due to overconsumption. In addition, the NPI's neighbours Turkey and Iran have been building a slew of dams on rivers that the NPI relies on. Some of these have the potential to have a significant impact on the Tigris flow into NPI. The water discharge of the Tigris-Euphrates Rivers is expected to drop by half in the next decade, according to the UNDP. The KRG's strategic goal is to build a significant number of dams across its territory, with the goal of storing water for irrigation and hydroelectric generation, to combat climate change, upstream dam construction, and mismanagement. Annual income for water in NPI is 28 billion meter cube but more than 20 billion meter cube was waste without benefit for water supply in general (95%) of this water was discharge without any using in for agricultural, industrial sector and domestic water supply. About the water production rate fee in NPI by Kurdistan region government (KRG) for water supply around (57400 $) every day. Water production for one day is (1.874 Million meter cubic per day) and (70 Million meters cubic per month). All of the people are responsible on their site for using water on preserving it in the rate in the region they leaving because it fact other regions.
Highlights
There is a lot of challenges in front of the north part of Iraq (NPI) that should be evaluated and desiccation and researched and get a good result by the scientific way for the challenges because the water supply sustainability is related to our daily lives and very important issue and related for every people around the north part of Iraq
Water production If focused in NPI in addition to having many water resources but because of there is not required dams and there is no having good lows for a water management system, these resources do not use in a good way to produce water and a lot of water throw out without using, it is one future challenge in this sector
Wastewater in NPI If see NPI there this a lot of waste of water by people it increased the rate of water production over the government, everyday 900000-meter cube wastewater that is production rate equal 230000$
Summary
There is a lot of challenges (current and future) in front of the north part of Iraq (NPI) that should be evaluated and desiccation and researched and get a good result by the scientific way for the challenges because the water supply sustainability is related to our daily lives and very important issue and related for every people around the north part of Iraq. Some of the challenges are from a governmental issue like (no exact plan, no enough budget for doing good project). Some of the challenges are related to people wasting more water in their daily life. Climate change is another barrier to better water supply sustainability in NPI
