Completion of New Water Barriers to Curb the Spread of Water Hyacinth in the Euphrates

rafidainscope - The Ministry of Water Resources announced the completion of strategic water barriers on the Euphrates River and the Rumaitha Stream as part of a government plan to combat the spread of the water hyacinth plant in rivers and canals. The works included installing barriers between the concerned provinces to block aquatic plants and prevent their transmission, which helps alleviate the blockages caused by this invasive species. These measures aim to ensure the smooth flow of water and the efficient delivery of water quotas to the beneficiary areas and agricultural lands.
