<\/a> Iraq\u2019s northern Kurdistan region is getting a new sewage system worth USD 288 <\/strong>mn <\/strong>with financing from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the company said in a statement picked up by Zawya<\/a> yesterday. The plant will have a capacity of 840k cubic meters per day. The project, which is now open for bidding by prospective contractors, will include a stormwater collection network at a later stage.<\/p>\n

JICA is funding other water-related projects in Iraq, <\/strong>including the Al Basra Grand Water Project (pdf)<\/a>, and its continued expansion, UNDP Iraq tweeted<\/a>. Phases 3 and 4 of the project were commissioned in 2022, with an eye to expand capacity to 200k cubic meters per day \u2014 an amount that will provide clean drinking water for approximately two mn people in Basra.<\/p>\n

Iraq\u2019s entire water infrastructure is in need of an overhaul: <\/strong>Iraq\u2019s water supply has been drying up for decades, decreasing by an estimated 30-40% over a 40-year period ending in 2018. Iraq was named (pdf<\/a>) the world\u2019s fifth most vulnerable to decreased water and food availability. The country is vulnerable to water-related conflict and climate change, and has been suffering from a lack of wastewater infrastructure. Allocating funding for the latter was one of several solutions proposed for the water-poor country.<\/p>\n
