Summary: | By using water resources management techniques for planning, improvement and supply, optimal use of the available water inside Iraq will achieve. This paper focuses on the management of water resources in Bahr Al-Najaf region, Najaf, Iraq for the expected future water resources and demands. These resources and demands are adopted with continued demands from the current situation to study the adequacy of water resource quantities in the study area. The authors try to answer the question that is the resources are enough or must provide other quantities of surface water and groundwater? and what amount? The results of the study indicate that there is a shortage that occurs in the futurity scenario of 55Mm3 and it is related to the tourism sector.
