Does anyone have any information, or know where to find it, on the Turkish dam which is apparently taking up to 60p.c. of the water from the Euphrates? It also affects Syria badly. It would be interesting to know who funded it. What safety procedures are in place in case of earthquake, bombing or other catastrophy which could damage the dam and cause serious loss of life? With Iraq suffering from food shortages, the ability to grow their own food is now impared seriously. Far in the south the date orchards are seriously affected. The existing rivers are now becoming poluted because of concentrations of minerals. Any info would be welcome.
