Advanced survey of hydrogeological resources in Iraq

The ASHRI-2 project, funded by UNESCO, aims to identify and study the most promising shallow aquifers in Iraq for freshwater withdrawal. The M3E team has developed and applied a numerical model for each aquifer system, jointly identified by the Iraqi Government and UNESCO, to evaluate the potential capability in supporting the characterization of aquifer resources, helping the decision process and planning MAR (Managing Aquifer Recharge) scenarios.
