Heavy rains have caused the water level of dams to rise in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, according to a statement by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) on Tuesday. The KRG announced that the water level of most of the dams has risen, leading to the gathering of a lot of water. The rainfall is expected to continue intermittently, which will further muddy the water in the dams and help reduce the effects of drought in the region.

The Dewana Dam in Garmian, which was completed last year, has been overflowing for several months, with 20 million cubic meters of water absorbed. Meanwhile, the Toorajar Dam in Garmian, completed this year, has collected 1.75 million cubic meters of water.

The Darbandikhan Dam's water level has risen significantly, bringing the total water level to 1 billion 684 million cubic meters. The Khans Dam in Duhok, completed this year, has also collected 7 million cubic meters of water.

Despite the rains in the area, the Keshkan Dam and Duhok Dam in Duhok have not overflowed, but have collected 22 million 854 thousand cubic meters of water. The amount of water collected in Dukan Lake has reached 41.5%, with the water level of the Dukan Dam rising by six meters and 20 centimeters since the beginning of the rainy season.

The Kurdistan Region has implemented several important and strategic water absorption projects, including ponds and dams, to fight drought and increase groundwater. These projects have become crucial to the region's efforts to combat water scarcity.
