It was evident through the research that there is a significant increase in the frequency of the drought phenomenon in Iraq, and this increase can be attributed to the global climate change phenomenon, which mainly resulted in higher temperatures and a higher amount of evaporation / transpiration, as well as a decrease in the amount of rain falling on Iraq, especially during the period.

The second of the study, which is the most changing period, according to what most local studies indicated, so the very severe drought category recorded 5 occurrences during the first period, then its frequency increased during the second period to reach 9 repetitions during the second period, as well as the drought type.

Very drought, as it recorded (10) recurrences and then increased to (17) during the second period, and from that shows the extent of the great drought in Iraq.
