Water releases from Mosul Dam into the Tigris River basin have remained stable at 850 cubic meters per second for the fourth consecutive day, according to informed sources, who denied reports claiming that releases had been increased to 1,000 cubic meters per second.
The sources said the current release rate remains unchanged and noted that any adjustment depends on water inflows from Turkey as well as storage levels at the dam. They added that water reserves at Mosul Dam continue to rise and have reached their highest level in the past five years.
They explained that decisions regarding increasing or reducing water releases fall exclusively under the authority of the Ministry of Water Resources, which manages Iraq’s dams through specialized technical and engineering teams. These decisions are based on storage conditions, incoming water flows, and the needs of areas located along the Tigris River basin.
The sources emphasized that no decision has been made to raise releases at this time, reaffirming that the current discharge level remains at 850 cubic meters per second.
