The focus is on: a?e¢ making a comparative study of water resources between Iraq, its neighboring countries, MENA and the world averages, a?e¢ conducting a sector analysis to identify and quantify available water resources, the needs and sub-optimality in their uses, a?e¢ analyzing current allocation of water and quantifying and suggesting necessary reductions in wasteful use of water resources, a?e¢ designing water policies and suggesting measures that improve regional water planning and management practices, a?e¢ developing techniques and models in the projection of demand, supply and future utilization patterns and quantification of the water gap, a?e¢ suggesting alternatives for provision of water to areas facing scarcity on the basis of sustainable long-term and minimum cost solutions, a?e¢ suggesting necessary mechanisms for approaching interstate cooperation and for participating in the building of interregional institutions, a?e¢ proposing economically and environmentally optimal practices for within region and interstate cooperation and resource management, and a?e¢ suggesting opportunities for increased government investment in the development and management of the water market. 410 0$aWater Resource Planning, Development and Management 606 $aWater-supply$zKurdistan$xManagement 606 $aWater$xPurification$zKurdistan 606 $aWater$xGovernment policy 606 $aIntegrated water development$zKurdistan 615 0$aWater-supply$xManagement. 615 0$aWater$xPurification 615 0$aWater$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aIntegrated water development 676 $a363.6/1095667 700 $aHeshmati$b Almas$0803496 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971075703321 996 $aIntegrated water resource management in the Kurdistan region$94467245 997 $aUNINA
