The report by the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction says failure to complete the projects was due in part to a dramatic shift in spending on Iraqi security.
The study says that as a result, only 49 of 136 water and sanitation projects will be completed.
It says changes in strategy over how to spend some $18 billion allocated for Iraq reconstruction resulted in more than $5 billion being shifted to other uses.
