Sources said on Thursday that water releases from Mosul Dam into the Tigris River have remained steady at 950 cubic meters per second for the third straight day.
According to the sources, the continued releases have led to a noticeable rise in water levels along the Tigris River, especially in Nineveh and Salah al-Din provinces, with the impact extending all the way to the Samarra Dam.
The sources explained that the stable release rate is linked to consistent water inflows coming from Turkey. These inflows have increased significantly in recent days, helping fill the reservoir and allowing authorities to maintain higher release levels.
They also noted that any future increase or decrease in water releases will depend on the amount of incoming water and decisions made by the central committee responsible for managing water flows in the Tigris River basin.
The committee, which operates under the Ministry of Water Resources, has the authority to determine how water releases are handled based on current conditions and the country’s water management needs.
For now, the steady flow from Mosul Dam continues to support higher water levels in the Tigris River, providing a boost to areas along its path after a period of water-related challenges.
