The present irrigation requirements of a case study are evaluated. The case study is the 17 July project, which is one of the biggest agricultural projects in Iraq, and is located in the alluvial plain of the Tigris river. The two components of the irrigation requirements are consumptive use and leaching. The crop consumptive use is calculated on a monthly basis from available meteorological data. Also the required drainage water is calculated based on the wide seasonal fluctuations in quality as well as quantity of the available water resources.

Recent papers have claimed that in the Middle East the pressure on available water resources might result in hostilities between certain states. This paper argues that such wars are unlikely given that most water in the region is being used, mostly inefficiently, for irrigation purposes. It is claimed that the water problems of most countries could be solved by diverting a relatively small amount of water from irrigation to higher value urban/industrial uses. Food production would suffer somewhat but the richer countries could make good these losses by purchases on the world market. Inevitably, irrigated agriculture in the Middle East must contract as growing populations demand more water for their needs.
