🎙️ Honored to join Kurdistan24 today following the inauguration of the Qushtapa Water Treatment Plant, one of the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) key strategic projects to enhance water security and climate resilience.
During the discussion, I highlighted the government’s vision — led by H.E. Prime Minister Masrour Barzani — to transition from groundwater dependence to sustainable surface-water systems through modern treatment plants, dams, and integrated infrastructure.
Zater security is not only an engineering challenge — it’s a pillar of public health, food security, and climate adaptation. The progress achieved across Kurdistan today reflects a long-term commitment to sustainable development and resilience.

On Tuesday, November 21, 2023, I took part in a television program titled (روداوی ئەمڕۆ) on the #Rudaw Media Network.
Our discussion centered around the recent flash floods in Erbil, where we delved into both the root causes and the subsequent repercussions. I emphasized the significant influence of climate change, highlighting its pivotal role in the increasing frequency of flash floods. Furthermore, I explored the impact of urbanization on Erbil's drainage system, shedding light on the interconnected challenges posed by these environmental factors.
I’m pleased to share that my new article on Erbil’s Emergency Water Supply Project has been published (in Kurdish language). The article discusses one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the region, highlighting its role in enhancing water security, sustainability, and urban resilience.
This project is a transformative step for Erbil, aiming to provide clean drinking water for the next 30 years. It combines engineering innovation with long-term vision—an important milestone for environmental infrastructure in our region.
This article, published online on the AVA website, reflects my personal journey from early academic frustration during my PhD in Poland—when Erbil’s wastewater reality felt behind modern standards—to genuine pride and optimism today. It highlights the Erbil Wastewater Treatment Plant (Phase II) as a transformational project for public health and environmental resilience, outlining its scale, key components, and expected impacts in moving Erbil toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
