Shafaq News- Al-Anbar
Governor of Al-Anbar, western Iraq, reviewed water discharge
levels and flows arriving from Syria through the Euphrates River on Tuesday
following flooding in neighboring Deir Ez-Zor province.
Omar Mishaan Al-Dabbous received briefings from technical
teams on river conditions, flow rates, and measures being taken to monitor
changes in water levels. He also noted that the local government “is closely
following the water file in coordination with relevant agencies to protect
residents, agricultural land, and infrastructure across western Al-Anbar.”
Earlier this week, service and security agencies in Al-Qaim
district declared a state of full alert after reports that large quantities of
water had been released from Syria’s Al-Tabqa Dam, causing water levels in the
Euphrates to rise.
Rising flows on the Euphrates have triggered evacuations and
disrupted essential services across eastern Syria. Syrian officials told Shafaq
News on Friday that flooding affected parts of Deir Ez-Zor and Raqqa provinces,
putting dozens of water stations out of service and prompting emergency
measures.
