In continuation of the work of the Joint Working Group between the Environmental Research Center at the University of Technology and the Ministry of Water Resources, which is responsible for the preparation of an "Evaluation Study for the Community Management of Nile Flower Plants in Iraq" and "Guidance Guide for Sustainable Management of the Bio-Nile System of the Nile" On 21 and 22 February 2018.

The workshops were designed to answer those present about the benefits and disadvantages of the presence of the Nile Flower plant, how to maximize these benefits and reduce the damage, and ways to generalize these procedures at the regional and national levels. The workshop was attended by elites from the sectors of work, society, civil society organizations, volunteers and media from the governorates where the plant is located. The workshop was conducted by the Environmental Research Center, while the Ministry of Water Resources provided logistical support. The two workshops came out with a number of important recommendations that will be prepared and presented to Ministry of Water Resources officials for appropriate decisions.
