Overview

In northern Iraq the risk of Mosul Dam collapse represents a serious threat to the existing infrastructure in its path as well as the significant loss of life that could result from a collapse. Most models constructed of this scenario indicate that areas along the river will be inundated with fast moving flood waters, in some cases both deep and wide. This presents a significant challenge for the Iraqi authorities to safeguard the populations living downstream of dam along the flood path. To respond to this, UNDP has been working with the Iraqi authorities and stakeholders to support Government of Iraq in building national capacities and establishing systems toward effective preparedness and flood early warning across the Tigris river valley. 

A number of important results have been achieved through rapid actions and engagement with the Government of Iraq over the last one year.  A number of activities have been planned in 2017 which aim to build on the existing results and strengthen key capacities at national, regional and local levels in order to protect the vulnerable populations along the Tigris river valley from flood emergencies in case of Mosul Dam breach.
