By Gulf Region Division U.S. Army Corps of Engineers BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 9, 2005 � Stabilization of the Mosul Dam continues with an additional $20 million in Iraq Reconstruction and Relief Funds allocated this week for that purpose. The Iraq Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Electricity have made the dam a top priority for the region. The largest dam in Iraq, Mosul earthen dam holds back upwards of 12 billion cubic meters of water for the arid western Ninewah Province while creating hydroelectric power for the 1.7 million residents of Mosul. This reconstruction project includes an upgrade of specialized maintenance equipment, seismic monitors, materials and spare parts. A training element is included with the aid package, which will help make the project self-sustaining in the future. Completed in 1983, the dam has required maintenance to plug or �grout� areas of leakage on a regular basis. Without this needed work, the dam could develop problems over time with the possibility of a catastrophic failure. An event of this magnitude would be profound, devastating the rich agricultural valley of the Tigris and endangering the population of Mosul. New automatic grout-injection
equipment included in the project will help arrest seepage under the
dam. Seismic equipment will provide information to monitor the dam�s
stability. Both types of work are critical in continuing flood
protection, irrigating farmland, and maintaining sufficient water to
generate 320 MW of electricity.

I have remebered Turkish Army's secret weapon,so scary,here is the issue...there are so many dams established in the south and the east side of Turkey,two of them is world's one of the biggest dams...shortly if they free out the water at the same time the flood seriously covers all part of Syria and Iraq....so scary...if i were the leader of Turkey i could call Iraqi people leaving their own country for a week then free out the water onto the U.S. Army...the rest is reconstructing Iraq,the rest is more happy world without U.S. Army......

Who broke the dam thing to start with? They have to repair it. Not doing some favour to the Illegally occupied Iraqis? Edited by Whisper |

Yeah, who broke it is right - you don't think it had to do with the neglect of Saddam of his people? Of course it did...Saddam didn't give a rat's behind about Iraqis...but you wanted to happily maintain him in power against the 'evil Amereekans' - wow, Sasha, you are so benevolent in your 'dictatorships'... |
