Northern Iraq faces resource shortages

The article discusses the ongoing electricity crisis in Iraq and its impact on the population and the environment. It notes that the deteriorating electrical services have led to increased public anger, with threats to cut off water from the "Al-Bida" canal, which is a vital artery for supplying Basra with water, if the electricity shortage in Dhi Qar province continues. Iraq suffers from a significant disparity in electricity distribution, with some areas receiving about two hours of power daily, while experiencing outages of up to four hours, further fueling protests. The report also highlights that Iraq's electricity demand reaches 60,000 megawatts, while actual production does not exceed 25,000 megawatts. Persistent challenges in maintaining water resources and the decline of the marshes are causing environmental damage and pose risks to the population.
