The winter plan and available water: how many dunams of wheat can be sown this season?
The episode reads satellite maps tracking the decline in water reserves in the Tigris and Euphrates basins, and asks how it will affect the area covered by the winter agricultural plan. A water resources expert explains how quotas are allocated among the provinces, while farmers from Wasit share their experience with sprinkler irrigation.
