Mosul Dam Reduces Tigris Water Discharge Amid Declining Upstream Supply

Water resource management authorities revealed a reduction in water discharge from the Mosul Dam into the Tigris River basin, down to 450 cubic meters per second from a previous level of 600 cubic meters per second. Officials attributed the measure to decreased water inflows from Turkey, noting that discharge rates are strictly regulated by the Ministry of Water Resources based on inflow metrics and downstream demand, while confirming the dam's operational capacity remains relatively stable compared to previous years.
