The research behind the campaign. Water4Iraq builds on EPIC’s field-based research and long-standing partnerships with Iraqi environmental advocates. Together, we help turn local knowledge and evidence into practical policy solutions for some of Iraq’s most pressing climate and environmental challenges. Two recent EPIC studies directly inform this work:
Making Every Drop Count
EPIC’s field-based examination of water-efficient irrigation in Iraq and the practical barriers farmers face in adopting water-saving approaches.
Securing Iraq’s Water Future Through Wastewater Management Reform
EPIC’s analysis of wastewater pollution in Iraq and practical policy opportunities to improve treatment, protect rivers, and strengthen water security.
Every way of giving helps move this work forward. Whether you support Water4Iraq or provide flexible support for EPIC’s broader mission, you are investing in Iraqi changemakers with the knowledge, relationships, and determination to build a better future.
