Civil protection of farmer from water scarcity damages

Abstract

Civil protection is one of the most important legal topics worth studying, as it addresses many important issues in the life of a farmer. In this study, we discussed the legal basis on which the injured farmer can obtain appropriate compensation for the damage caused by the water scarcity in the country due to climate change and global warming, which led to the phenomenon of dry and decreasing amounts of rain and snow, which led to a clear decrease in water revenues of the Tigris rivers the Euphrates, in addition to the neighboring countries which build dams on the tributaries of the two rivers in their territory. This affected the water revenues of the country, and the state should take several measures to address the water scarcity, and prepare accurate plans to ensure its access to all agricultural lands, otherwise, it was responsible for the damage caused by the dry that hit several important agricultural areas.

   This study produced many results, the most important of which was the right of farmers to claim compensation by prosecuting civil lawsuits because any damage caused by water scarcity may result in the loss of the rights of injured farmers.
