The possibility of using the wind energy for pumping in Iraq has been discussed and
evaluated. This research includes a theoretical assessment in order to find solution for the technical
and economic problems of water pumping from wells and explain the field of utilization this energy.
Wind speed for different sites in Iraq which used to calculate the amount of water required for each
crop. The energy needed by each location, its characteristics, and usage are determined by studying
the results of the field investigations related to water requirements and wind characteristics at each
location.
