Mytham Ali Khudair

Mytham Ali Khudair is the Director General of the General Authority for Groundwater in Iraq. He recently gained attention for announcing that Iraq's summer agricultural plan will, for the first time in the country's history, rely entirely on groundwater due to severe water shortages. His leadership is focused on adapting agricultural practices to cope with climate change and dwindling water resources, including the allocation of 50,000 wells across various provinces to support crop irrigation. Khudair's work underscores the urgent need for sustainable water management in Iraq amidst increasing environmental challenges.
