Iraq requests bids to build water dam in the Shatt Al-Arab River

Basra (IraqiNews.com) – Three international businesses have been asked to bid on the construction of a water dam in Iraq’s Shatt Al-Arab River.

According to the Aliqtisad News Network, the Water Resources Ministry requested proposals from Energoprojekt of Serbia, Hydronova of Italy, and the Dutch Deltares Company.
