Nasiriyah Drainage Pump Station

Nasiriyah Drainage Pump Station, Drainage pump station in Dhi Qar Province, Iraq

The Nasiriyah Drainage Pump Station is a land drainage pumping station 10 km southeast of Nasiriyah in Dhi Qar Province, Iraq. It lifts farm run-off from the Main Outfall Drain to a siphon under the Euphrates, with 12 pumps each rated at 20 m³ per second.

The facility was established in the 1980s with Brazilian support to improve water management in Mesopotamia. The project was later revised by foreign experts and modernized during the 2000s.

The station fulfills recommendations made by British engineer Frank Haigh in 1951 regarding the reconstruction of drainage systems in the Mesopotamian Marshes region.

The station sits about 10 km southeast of Nasiriyah in Dhi Qar province, reached by road from the city. It is a working facility, so access is not guaranteed and should be arranged in advance; the surrounding farmland and canals are best seen in daylight.

The station's 12 pumps each move 20 m³ per second, giving a combined capacity of 240 m³ per second. That flow serves the Main Outfall Drain, which is designed to drain 1.5 million hectares of farmland and reduce soil salinity. The station lies 10 km southeast of Nasiriyah, not in Baghdad.
