Iraq currently faces a lack of water, but there are some parts of the country where the groundwater springs always flow strongly. One project that is making the most of these natural resources is Bekhal, where the construction work has been used to boost tourism as well as providing electricity.
With a population of 1.5 million, the Northern Iraq state of Erbil requires 430MW of power to ensure uninterrupted supply. However, there is currently only 29MW of power being produced by power plants in the area, with a further 160MW being supplied intermittently from the national grid. With rolling electrical blackouts now affecting the growing Erbil district on a fairly regular basis, schemes like this are becoming crucial to safeguard the region's future stability.
