Water and Sanitation

• The sewage treatment system in Baghdad, which was barely functioning for years before the conflict, will now be restored to almost 100-percent capacity and will serve 80-percent of Baghdad’s 4.7 million inhabitants.

• An anticipated total of 11.8 million Iraqis will benefit from USAID’s $600M in water and sanitation projects.

• The Iraqi Airport is undergoing a $1.3 million renovation project to revamp the water treatment plant. The plant was operating at full capacity before the war, yet lacked maintenance and chemicals to render water suitable for human consumption. Project completion is slated for the end of October.
