Under the patronage of the President of the Northern Technical University, Prof. Dr. Alia Abbas Al-Attar, and under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Omar Khalil Ahmed, Dean of the Institute, the Water Resources Technologies Department organized a scientific symposium on (Makhoul Dam, priorities and challenges).

The lecture was delivered at the symposium by Assistant Professor Idan Ibrahim Ghadban, a teaching staff member at the Institute, and was attended by a number of the Institute’s employees and students.

The symposium dealt with the most important priorities and reasons for completing the “Makhoul” dam on the Tigris River, and the most important challenges facing the completion of the dam.

The symposium showed the importance of completing the dam because it is of great importance to preserve water resources, especially, since the world is witnessing a state of global warming and a lack of rain.

The symposium aimed to define the most important priorities and benefits of completing the dam and the most important challenges that the work will face.

The symposium came out with several recommendations:

1. The necessity of giving the issue of water resources in Iraq great attention because of its repercussions on the future of the country
2. Focusing on a set of internal solutions represented in the optimal exploitation of water resources by accelerating the establishment of storage facilities, rationalizing consumption, and reducing waste in water resources.
