Could its neighbours deprive Iraq of water?
HA: This already happened in 1991, during the first war on Iraq. Iraq’s share of waters was cut down to 50 percent. Water has always been a political- economic-military tool. There is a dangerous lack of ‘water justice’ in terms of fair water sharing and fair access to it. There are many ways of denying access to water. Pricing is one. If you charge for water you allow access only to those who can afford to pay, while denying it to the most vulnerable people. Lack of water justice affects all developing countries. There is a net separation line between water surplus countries and water deficit countries. It coincides with the line between the North and the South.
