Iraq
Tap water situation
Tap water safety in Iraq is generally a significant concern, as it is not considered safe to drink without proper treatment. Many areas suffer from infrastructure issues, and water quality can vary greatly, often contaminated due to inadequate water treatment facilities. The main government body responsible for overseeing water quality is the Ministry of Water Resources, which works in conjunction with local bodies to improve water infrastructure and ensure water safety, though challenges remain due to ongoing political and economic issues.
