    Al-Sumaria News - Local News:

    Today, Sunday, September 17, 2023, the Ministry of Water Resources revealed the truth about the collapse of the Mosul Dam.

    The ministry stated, in a press conference, followed by Alsumaria News, that “the news circulating about the collapse of the Mosul Dam and the repetition of what happened in Libya in Iraq is untrue.”
     
    A report published by the American National Geographic network warned of a repeat of the disaster in the Libyan city of Derna in Iraq.



    The report discussed the repercussions that could be caused by the collapse of the Mosul Dam in northern Iraq, which was described as “the most dangerous dam in the world,” both in terms of human losses as well as those related to the archaeological sites that spread on both sides of the Tigris River, where the dam is located.

    The Mosul Dam is Iraq's largest water reservoir, but it is built on plaster foundations and requires regular cement injections to fill cracks in its structure.

    The network says that many experts believe that the threat of its collapse still exists.

    The network quotes experts that the collapse of the dam could lead to the death of one and a half million people living on the banks of the Tigris River if the flood path is not cleared in a timely manner within three or four hours.

    Experts also pointed out that water will submerge the city of Mosul, the largest city in northern Iraq, at a height of 21 meters within hours of its collapse, and a tidal wave will also rush internally for a distance of 280 kilometers towards the south along the Tigris River.

    The report finds that the potential for a massive humanitarian catastrophe is quite clear, but the collapse could also wipe out thousands of archaeological and cultural sites along the Tigris River.

    These sites also include Nimrod and Nineveh, the ancient Assyrian capital that was once the largest city in the world and the first true empire to emerge in the first millennium BC.

    All of these sites, in addition to the Mosul Museum and countless religious sites, were all vandalized by ISIS in 2014.

    The report says researchers are struggling to estimate how much damage a potential dam collapse could cause.

    Michael Dante, professor of archeology at Boston University, believes that “it is difficult to come up with estimates other than that thousands of archaeological sites and heritage sites will be erased,” adding: “It will be an unprecedented loss.”

    Since the completion of the dam's construction in 1984, the Iraqi government has sought to strengthen its foundation by pumping a special cement material into the gaps that appear under the construction.

    The dam, which the US Army Corps of Engineers described in 2006 as “the most dangerous dam in the world,” is 113 meters high and three kilometers wide.

    Last month, Iraqi Minister of Water Resources Aoun Dhiab confirmed that the condition of the Mosul Dam is reassuring and stable.

    The warnings about the Mosul Dam coincide with the humanitarian disaster witnessed by the Libyan city of Derna, where heavy rains resulting from the Mediterranean storm “Daniel” caused deadly floods and torrential rains early last week.

    The floods submerged two dams, sending water flowing several meters high through central Derna, destroying entire neighborhoods, sweeping people into the sea and killing thousands
