Now a day Iraq is suffering from serious problem of water shortage which threats life. This problem is caused due to many reasons; one of them is the climat ((Global warming)), the other is related to the position of Iraqi main rivers flow from Turkish land, this situation has made Turkey emeloyes water in a policy to achieve its objects, and benefits through relationship with countries who benefit from the river that flows from its land. This policy becomes harmful for Iraq in different ways under the situation of Global warming and increased the severity of drought and desertification intensity.Now, Iraq needs to review its overall relations with Turkey by following a rational, clever policy leading to a fear agreement for the distribution of water quotas among the countries who get benefit from the water of the international river, according to the international law. This policy has to focus on preference of Iraq water needs on all political, security and economic because life of Iraq and Iraqis are above all the other considerations.
