On 9th October 2009 the Iraqi cabinet approved the implementation of the KHASA ÇAI Dam project in Kerkuk Province.
According to Ali Al-Dabbagh, the Iraqi government’s official spokesman:
The project should deal with the probems of drinking water scarcity and farmland irrigation.
Part of the dam waters will be used to irrigate 3,000 Donums of argricultural areas in TAZA.
Dabbagh noted that the volume of water stored in KHASA JAI DAM – 38.85 million cubic meters, amount to 2.59% of water stored in al-Adhim dam of 1.5 billion cubic meters – is very little.
Note: one Iraqi Donum equals 2,500 square meters
