In Iraq, a wide range of sustainable development projects relating to the education, health, environment and water supply sectors are currently in progress. Eni assists the Iraqi government in tackling the water crisis in the country's south, especially in the Basra Governorate. Specific objectives to tackle the crisis include the supply of drinking water in compliance with international per capita consumption standards, the expansion of water networks and the improvement of distribution systems. To achieve these goals, we are working with the Iraqi Basra Oil Company (BOC) and local authorities to contribute to the national plan to improve access to water in the Basra Governorate. This includes the implementation of two infrastructural projects: the Al Baradhiya water treatment plants, with the installation of two new treatment trains, and the renovation of the Al Burjesia reverse osmosis plant for the production of drinking water.

Project actions and objectives
In Basra to improve water quality
Owing to a mix of socioeconomic and climatic risks, several Governorates among those that were hit hardest by water shortages in recent years lie in the country's south, including Basra. To tackle the crisis that has hit southern Iraq in recent years, Eni is working with the European Union, UNICEF, and the local Governorate to enhance water quality in Basra.
