[ltr]Iraq issued an instruction guide to avoid the risk of the collapse of the Mosul Dam and reduces US warnings[/ltr]

• The risks that note it in this guide assume the high water level in the dam to 319 meters, which is unlikely, since the high water in the Mosul Dam is currently 307 meters, which reduces risks that include it in this guide substantially, especially for Baghdad .
  
  

• Depth of the water was up in the Tigris River to more than 15 meters in some areas of Mosul between one hour to four hours from the collapse of the dam, a narrow time calls for taking urgent and resolute measures in this city.
  
  
• The expected duration of the arrival of the flood wave to Tikrit shall be from one day to two days, and Baghdad between three to four days , where the water will rise in the course of the river to ten meters.
  
  
• And be residents of areas adjacent to the course of the Tigris River to avoid the risk of the rush of flood water to their areas. In Baghdad , for example , if the water level in the dam to a maximum of Mosul, may affect negatively on thesituation of large numbers of the population, and forcing them to flee from their areas to avoid exposure to the risks of the buildings, and ward off disease. At the current level of the water, the damage will be much lower.
  
  
• The basic infrastructure will be affected significantly, hampering basic services such as electrical services. As agricultural land will be affected widely, it requires efforts of rescue equipment and machines of various projects as much as possible.
  
  
• The best way to safety is to move to higher areas, and therefore the inhabitants of the extended areas with the river awayfrom him for a distance of six kilometers towards the highlands. Noting that the risks in the areas adjacent to the river or its branches higher than the risk of flooding in other areas.
  
  
• Mosul residents can avoid flooding if it occurs by moving at least six kilometers from the course of the river and its tributaries to avoid and stay away for a minimum distance of five kilometers for residents of Tikrit.
  
  
• The need areas between Tikrit and Samarra residents to stay away for a distance of about six and a half kilometers fromthe river.
  
  
• In Samarra residents in areas west of the river it needs to stay away a distance of 6.5 kilometers, either dwell to the eastof the river they will have to move away beyond that distance because of the low level of land to avoid what has caused flooding irrigation channels.
