Kurdistan authorities released 195 billion Iraqi dinars for a major water facility serving Erbil's western district. Prime Minister Masrour Barzani approved the $138 million investment on Sunday through the Ministry of Municipalities and Tourism budget. The cash will flow in stages to support construction phases across the region.
Workers plan to build a facility producing 120,000 cubic meters of clean water daily for Khabat residents. The system requires 300 kilometers of water pipes, multiple storage tanks, and five kilometers of power lines. Ministry officials requested the project on July 16 after residents reported persistent shortages.
Population growth and climate impacts have strained water supplies throughout Kurdistan territories. The western Khabat area has faced severe shortages that prompted community appeals for government action. Regional leaders view water infrastructure as essential for development and public health across affected areas.
