Iraq to employ artificial intelligence to manage water dams
Baghdad ( – The Iraqi Prime Minister's advisor for artificial intelligence, Diyaa Al-Jumaili, revealed on Tuesday that Iraq is adopting a new mechanism to employ artificial intelligence in water dam management. In a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Al-Jumaili explained that steps have been taken to start working on a major project to build smart dams along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, as well as large smart dams in the southern Iraqi province of Basra. Once the initiative is completed, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and the Shatt Al-Arab will be turned into lakes, according to Al-Jumaili. The Iraqi official indicated that the project is now being conducted on a limited scale. It will be tested in Kufa and Abbasiya to employ artificial intelligence in dam management. Smart dams can detect the quantity and quality of water inflow and outflow, as well as the potential of floods, according to Al-Jumaili. Iraq's water supplies fell to their lowest point in 80 years in May, owing to an exceptionally dry season and limited flow of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. To maintain the supply of drinking water for 46 million Iraqis, authorities have been compelled in the last few years to restrict agricultural fields and push farmers to employ sophisticated irrigation techniques to reduce water consumption.
