Aim and Mission :

This conference is an international annual conferences and the accepted research articles and papers will be published in “IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science “ a journal  indexed in Scopus and other 19 international journal indexers . This conference is an attempt to access and highlight the main perspectives and prognoses for water resources critical issues, levels and situations in Iraq and Kurdistan Region. Also, it is founded as an attempt to prepare a contribution and a collaboration worksheet paper from different affiliated experts, researchers, academists and entities from the Iraqi Federal Government, UN, Komar University of Science and Technology, Rafidain NGO,APSU for water sustainability NGO,  Lulea Technical University and others and it’s a hope they work together in the area of water resources security and forecasting for now and in the future of Iraq .  Also, the participants have a chance to integrate and share their knowledge, information, data   and experiences together and update them so as to enhance the efficiency of Iraqi water resources management system and policy. As the whole world in general and specifically Kurdistan region and Iraq are   facing a serious global warming, water shares from neighbors of the country challenges and recent water issue conflicts, all of the mentioned points have made these challenges more difficult and led to environmental pollution, and declining rainfall intensity mostly in the regions across the country. This conference intends to bring together the experts from Iraq and other international and UN agencies and concentrate all the applications of their submitted articles, researches, ideas, initiatives and guidance in the field of water resources issues for Iraqi’s people. This conference is very necessary in understanding the threats and consequences of global climate changes, water pollution, dam’s activities, and current water shortage and usage practices. Relevant government officials are invited to work together with academics in developing a master plan to use relevant water data for future planning and forecasting.
