Drought in the Kurdistan Region has dried up natural springs, streams, and rivers where wild animals and birds drink water to survive the summer's heatwave.

 

For this reason, a man in the Sharazur district of Sulaymaniyah has installed a water drop system similar to the one used for agriculture to provide water for the thirsty animals and birds.

 

Diyari Ali, a young resident of Setlan village in Sharazur, felt responsible for providing water for thirsty and helpless animals in the heat of summer

 

"The springs and water resources of our village are dry, they don't even provide water for birds, so I have made some of the holes and installed hose which water drips from them," said Ali.

 

"In this rainless and dry year, wild animals such as rabbits, foxes, and the various birds are the first victims," he added. 

 

Ali made a field survey for the area to find what sources do the animals use for drinking but he was shocked when he saw that the springs and streams from which the animals drank water were dry, so he installed water tankers with hoses to be an alternative source of water.

 

After research, Ali found that this system is the most efficient for this purpose as almost no water is wasted and every animal will benefit from it. 

 

He called on everyone to cooperate and together do what they can to save the wildlife. 

 

The Kurdistan Region is currently experiencing drought and extremely hot temperatures due to the lack of rain during winter and water resources within its boundaries.

 

Many observers believe that the current drought is caused by the Kurdistan Region's neighboring countries, where they block the rivers that enter the region by dams.

 

In addition, the Kurdistan Region has witnessed a relatively low rain and snowfall during the past winter and spring in compression with the previous years which has raised concerns for many, especially farmers who greatly rely on water for agriculture.
