Assessment of water balance approach for different water supply conditions in Dahuk Dam
Dahuk dam system is one of the Kurdistan-Iraq Government strategies to asset water supply. It is the main point for tourism and the only safe source to meet the needs of the city in difficult circumstances of water crisis between the countries of the region, Turkey, Iraq and Syria. In recent years i...
