8 billion for drinking and 7.5 billion evaporate: water resources reveal the scale of consumption!

Iraq ·

The undersecretary of Iraq's Ministry of Water Resources said in an interview that the country consumes 8 billion cubic metres of drinking water a year, and that between 6 and 7.5 billion cubic metres are lost to evaporation depending on temperatures.

Iraq depends heavily on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which rise partly outside its borders, and water scarcity has been a long-running concern.
