Taking into consideration the governorate’s actual share of water, which represents (17%) of the water resource. The future demand has been determined by providing (WEAP) with the water supply of the Western Husaybah station for the period from (1990-2019) In order to estimate the water discharge for the period from (2020-2040) using the method of linear increase (Linear Program), the Anbar governorate's share of (17%) of the total amount of water of the Euphrates River was determined.
