How One Turkish Dam Created A Huge Problem In The Arabian World

Rivers that run through the territories of two or even three countries are cause for debate and dispute among neighbors. In the modern world, when the lack of fresh water becomes more severe, many countries are ready to spend massive sums to keep some of that valuable water in their territory that is brought by rivers from a neighboring country. We must say that people have been building buildings since ancient times designed to stop the flow of water for use in agriculture. However, dams that were built before are much, much smaller than modern ones today. Today's constructions are true marvels of engineering thought and technique including large cement walls with floodgates and gates built across rivers. Additionally, the taller the dam, the larger its reserve power.

Turkey only uses 28% of Euphrates while 89% of euphrates' flow originates in Turkey and only uses 12% of Tigris while 60% of tigris' flow originates in Turkey, on the other hand Iraq uses 40% of Euphrates and 60% of Tigris while pretty much zero percentage of those rivers' flow originate in Iraq!! So claims about Turkey using too much water are just ridiculous in every way and the problem isn't Turkey using too much at all rather Iraq isn't using the water properly. Such as pretty much all dams in Iraq got damaged or completely destroyed during 3 wars and Iraq can't store water during winters anymore so they can use it during summers when water levels are dropping insanely even in Turkey. Iraq must build those dams back ASAP for their own good. But somehow even if they are exporting tens of billions of dollars worth oil they can't find funds to build them back!! Turkey has a gigantic construction sector which can build those dams back easily but they can't have a deal with Turkey neither ''somehow'' and they continue pouring millions of gallons of water to deserts in hope a miracle will happen but when it doesn't happen they just blame Turkey!! Seriously and sadly Iraq will become a total desert if they don't start acting smart soon...

This info is wrong atm! Turkish government became so corrupt that they don’t care about the environment. Almost every river in Turkey has multiple dams on it. Recently, we just had a flood and an entire northern city flooded bc of the dams, mines and an unlicensed lumberjack company. It was a complete disaster😔 everybody blamed the government. However, since the civil organizations cleared out from the main politics, almost there’s nothing left to stand against the government. Especially in the northern and southern regions, dam projects changed the landscape in a bad way. Several historical zones, national zones are unrecognizable today. It happened in the last decade. And this info is what I remember from 90s! Just bc of the dams, the lakes in the west are struggling. Some small ones in the west already gone and the big ones facing with draughts. Turkey is already facing with the water problems and the current projects on the way are going to make it worse. Turkey already has more dams than enough. Its not about water consumption anymore, it’s about electricity😉 there are few nuclear plant projects as well for the high electricity demand. Unfortunately, the future looks darker and darker each decade😔

And when it comes to Mediterranean countries, it applies perfectly. Look at Antalya, the entire coast covered with 5 to 7 star luxury hotels, golf clubs and such. Look at Spain, they have huge cow farms that no grass can even grow. I didn’t know Spain became the meat source of EU🤦‍♂️ and we all know that meat production all depends on the more water consumption. Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and Turkey are all having wildfires almost every year. Last summer, Canada, the US, Greece, Portugal, Spain and Turkey had huge wildfires and guess what, neither mainstream media nor social media users gave any shit to them. Even temperatures jumped crazy, majority didn’t realize that it happened bc of the wildfires and exposing tremendous amount of energy.

The world history have so many different ages. However, whatever we do is making it faster. It’s like you’re using a machine too hard or riding your horse without resting.

I believe in chaos and how the world works is a definition of it. Although our lives mean less and we’re just like parasites in the ecological system, we should at least try to be logical some point.

Please understand they don’t build dams out of cement. Dams are made from steel reinforced concrete, a very different material. Other reinforcement can be used but steel is the most common. Cement is a grey powder that goes to make up concrete along with sand, water and crushed rock of specific size and makeup. Some other minor products might also be included but these are often related to how and when the concrete ‘goes off.’ It’s hardening time.

I do have been in the business for over 40 years a lot of people don't realize the overpasses and bridges that you see made out of concrete are held up by the rebar. The concrete makes it rigid. If you made it out of concrete only it would crack and collapsed immediately. Adult overpasses and arises in La they were all pouring Place concrete floors and walls overpasses Bridges. I sent move to Missouri to retire and back here people think they can put this stuff called fiber in the concrete like fiberglass strands and they don't need to put rebar or wire mesh drawer full of s***. All driveways and sidewalks and slabs for houses have to have rebar. Down in Texas they have a problem with the soil absorbing water and shrinking and Contracting expanding. So down there when they build a slab house they run half inch conduit every 16 in or 2 ft on a grid. And after the concrete hardens after 14 days or so they run tungsten steel cables and they put a big washer at one side and pull Mass amounts of pounds to tighten the tungsten steel cable so that the slab won't separate and crack. All of concrete Bridges and overpasses also have the tungsten steel cables that run from imbutment to Imbutment in La the actual overpass is not connected to the sides of the freeway they are on a greased rubber pad so when the earthquakes come they can move without cracking apart there's tungsten steel cables are embedded on each side with tension on them.

[@colinnuttall9579]

@@mikesmithey1892 Interesting stuff Mike. The glass fibre reinforcement in concrete has a place in the industry but should only be used in footpaths, yacht hulls and the like where load baring is low. The plastic pipe with cables in it is called Post Tensioning. We use it in things too. I’ve used it in multi storey buildings where we embedded it in floor slabs to help with load. The coils of cable are very heavy so it’s important to only place them toward the outside periphery of the slab, until you thread and tension them. I’ve seen instances of concrete exploding during tensioning regime. This usually indicated poor quality mix with insufficiently spaced FCR or low compressive strength mix. Construction can give you a wide experience of life can’t it Mike? Glad your now enjoying your retirement in Missouri. I’ll bet the BBQ ribs

Instead of militarizing with rich oil revenues and threatening it's neighbours, Iraq should have solved the water problem a long time ago by itself. Maybe they should make a deal oil for water and find out what's more valuable, well if you think oil is more valuable, go ahead and drink it.

[@ugur4511]

The Tigris and Euphrates rivers belong to Türkiye. They are not international rivers. Rivers on which transportation is carried out have the status of international rivers. There is no transportation on the Tigris and Euphrates. Turkey, a Eurasian country, provides the necessary humanitarian water support to its Middle Eastern neighbors. If Iraq wants more water from Turkey, it should give the Turks oil or money in exchange for water. Turkey is not an oil country and does not get oil for free from any country.

The water is not turkey's alone its mainly iraqi and Syrian water.

[@ShA-ib1em]

Assuming a daily per capita food consumption of 2,500 calories, iraq would need to produce 107.5 billion calories per day. The amount of land needed for food production assuming a mix of grains, fruits, and vegetables with average yields would be approximately 5-7 million hectares of arable land to meet its food needs. the total water requirement for agriculture could be estimated at around 225 billion liters per year. Converting this to a daily basis, the requirement would be approximately 617,000 cubic meters per day. Let's round it to 1 million cubic meters per day for additional water .. The world's current largest desalination plant is the "Ras Al Khair" plant in Saudi Arabia. It has a daily capacity of 1,036,000 cubic meters of desalinated water. ... With a construction cost of approximately $7.2 billion. So a 10 billion USD investment in desalination is more than enough to secure Iraq's agricultural needs .. Which is nothing for a country with a government budget of 120 billion dollars a year. That's assuming Tigris water goes to zero which is not happening ..

Water is more valuable, but oil is needed. You can't run electric cars because the power grid has to be beyond huge, so oil is here to stay. Türkiye to this day relies on coal, same for India and China, and that's an obsolete fuel for the most part unlike oil. The solution is to exchange water for oil, provided Iraq becomes more efficient, which definitely needs Turkish contractors building new dams in Iraq and more money to distillate water.

Turkey only uses 28% of Euphrates while 89% of euphrates' flow originates in Turkey and only uses 12% of Tigris while 60% of tigris' flow originates in Turkey, on the other hand Iraq uses 40% of Euphrates and 60% of Tigris while pretty much zero percentage of those rivers' flow originate in Iraq!! So claims about Turkey using too much water are just ridiculous in every way and the problem isn't Turkey using too much at all rather Iraq isn't using the water properly. Such as pretty much all dams in Iraq got damaged or completely destroyed during 3 wars and Iraq can't store water during winters anymore so they can use it during summers when water levels are dropping insanely even in Turkey. Iraq must build those dams back ASAP for their own good. But somehow even if they are exporting tens of billions of dollars worth oil they can't find funds to build them back!! Turkey has a gigantic construction sector which can build those dams back easily but they can't have a deal with Turkey neither ''somehow'' and they continue pouring millions of gallons of water to deserts in hope a miracle will happen but when it doesn't happen they just blame Turkey!! Seriously and sadly Iraq will become a total desert if they don't start acting smart soon...
