| Summary |
Iraq faces an increasingly dire water situation as both the quantity and quality of water continue to decline, impacting the complex dynamics between actors within Iraq's borders, at the federal, provincial, and local levels. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the link between water and conflict in Iraq at the interprovincial, provincial, and local levels in the provinces Basra, Missan, Dhi Qar, and Wasit in the south of Iraq. This paper's in-depth analysis shows that to better understand water-conflict dynamics in Iraq, further attention should be given to informal networks, which in Iraq are dominated by tribes. It is evident that formal institutions and informal networks are not dichotomous, creating complex cross-border dynamics that contribute to increased water stress. Addressing these dynamics within Iraq's borders presents an opportunity for Iraq to improve its water situation and more effectively mitigate water-related conflicts |
