Abstract Maintaining natural processes and supporting social economic growth depend heavily on water supplies. However, Future climate is predicted to bring higher temperatures, which will increase evapotranspiration; lower precipitation totals; changes in the seasonal pattern of precipitation. Iraq more vulnerable change than other nations due underdeveloped fragile management systems there, a...
