Abstract
This research was aimed to study the management of water resources within international basins, among which is the study of water authorities within the Greater Zab River Basin (GZRB) in the Kurdistan region - Iraq, where it is an international river shared by Iraq and Turkey, and aims to develop the river basin management and international cooperation between the authorities Shared water within the basin, as well as identifying factors that affect implementation, the principles, and joint projects. On the other hand, the interactions of water users competing for water inside the river basin were identified. For this reason, the Water Evaluation Analysis Planning (WEAP) model was applied to the basin to determine the optimal GZR planning system and plan optimum operating policy. The main issue with this planning is how the system meets future water needs. For this reason, optimal monthly water distribution policies have been simulated using the WEAP model using the past 33 years' debt, and the revaluated GZRB performance. An ideal simulation scheme has been developed and implemented for different scenarios such as domestic needs, irrigation water, and ecological water. This study compared to the official figures in the planning work that took place in the eighties. As a result of these comparisons, the average annual water supply was 368.1 million cubic meters in August 2032. Accordingly, it was proposed that the construction of the Bekhme Dam was completed because it understood that the water requirements could not be met in the current conditions.

Whether precipitation is time unit of irrigation water needs will generally decreasing in Greater Zab River Basin (GZRB) has been widely decrease due to decreasing losses in the system discussed, in particular after the exceptional by using new technology and new irrigation drought period from 1989 and 1999 to 2001 systems, the data of irrigation water needs which caused a significant depletion of water used in model
The model was after the difficulty of data collection from run as a current situation which called scenario several directorates, installed GIS raster reference
Summary
The water scarcity is becoming a concern issue in the 33 years in Erbil province. Number of people living on the earth in the Study area coming decade, but the population will Greater Zab River is one of the major Tigris continue growing, this will influence water river tributaries. Those four main rivers and some of their is the most important river basin in Erbil major tributaries originate in Turkey (Khabur province as it covers 1/3 of the whole north of and Greater Zab) or Iran A third proportions of the basin within regional and large storage dam, Bekhme, planned on the national level
