Description

The project of construction of wells in the municipalities of Beristek and Bersawa reflects the critical situation with the lack of drinking water in the municipalities, which since 2014 have hosted a community of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who fled the terror of the so-called Islamic State / Deash. Despite the defeat of Daesh in 2017, Iraq is still in a phase of gradual reconstruction of the country, which is complicated by political, security, social and economic instability. In addition, the situation was greatly complicated by the Covid-19 pandemic and the decision of local authorities to gradually close the existing IDP camps, which are still inhabited by people who have nowhere to return because their homes and cities have been destroyed and they have no means to rebuild them. In the event of the closure of IDP camps, it is therefore highly likely that their inhabitants will seek refuge in the municipalities that have already adopted IDPs in the past, which will further increase the burden on their water infrastructure. The provision of drinking water in the municipalities of Beristek and Bersawa represents the creation of capacities for easy and stable access to sufficient drinking water for all inhabitants of the municipalities - including women, children and IDP communities (SDG 5). In the context of Iraq, which is severely affected by the lack of drinking water, municipalities will have the right conditions for their development and at the same time avoid possible tensions between the host and IDP community. At the same time the project includes anti-pandemic measures to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus, as well as training to protect water resources and the use of drinking water in the cultivation and breeding activities of the municipal population (SDG 13). Sufficient drinking water "from the tap" will also reduce the production of waste in the form of disposable plastic packaging, in which the inhabitants of the village currently buy the missing drinking water (SDG 13).
