Iraq's Ministry of Water Resources has announced the building of a 129KM irrigation channel from the Shatt al-Arab waterway.
The channel will be lined with concrete, and will carry water at a rate of 30 cubic meters per second.
The project, which will provide water for agricultural land in the Basra governorate, is expected to cost 141 billion Iraqi dinars [$120m].
