     translation: Range 

    The old adage says about the troubled history of Iraq, "a fire or flood." Today, US officials ringing alarm bells about the potential catastrophic collapse of the world's largest dam, a plug connector. 
    In the past month, "Gen. Sen Mkvrland commander of US forces in Iraq," he said if this dam in the United States, what we do is driven lake behind him. 
    Showed devices sensor developed by engineers Americans last December widening cracks in the plaster fragile base under the dam, despite that no one can predict when it will occur gap? 
    Iraqi authorities underestimate the danger and partly due to lack of money to fix it, but after repeated warnings from US experts and monitoring of the $ 200 million from the World Bank to conduct urgent repairs, the Iraqi government has contracted with the Italian Trevi Krupp, which will hopefully provide an advanced and lasting way to fill cavities in the stone base, rather than ongoing maintenance, which was the dam needed over the last thirty years. 
    maintenance work stopped after control Daash on the dam in August 2014, and continued sporadically after the restoration of the dam again where disappeared basic equipment and decided to half-staff not to return to Aml.tcol one study, if it collapsed, the dam, the city of Mosul would sink within hours, and warned of another study of the flood waters result in the deaths half a million Iraqis and forced more than a million people to leave their homes, as the spread of diseases and looting with the flood water flow to the Baiji and Tikrit and Samarra, and even parts of the capital will be affected by this terrible scenario. 
    the construction of the dam by a group of German companies Italian and began operation in 1986, and given to provide a gypsum profusely in the region have been digging a tunnel gloss to inject cement and mud constantly cracks rule that took widen as a result of the flow of water through it. 
    in 2005, the engineering division of the US Army that the necessary engineering measures unusual warned to maintain the safety of the dam made ​​him the most dangerous in the world, only to disable the dam and strip it is not a good choice Vtfrig reservoir will make Iraqis are suffering from a lack of irrigation water drinking water is contaminated during the summer. 
    it is clear, according to the Iraqi military leaders and engineers, the dam if it collapsed, the city, which lies below it will sink quickly does not allow for residents escape. 
    Mehdi Rashid of the Iraqi Ministry of resources says, "we could have done a lot in cooperation with the United Nations and the rest of the Iraqi ministries, but that is not possible today because of the current situation." 
     For his part, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi stressed the need to work at full speed, as the snow melting and more than the expected rains will increase the pressure on the dam during the spring. The Minister of Water Resources Mohsen al-Shammari has rejected US warnings, he said in an interview with one of the TV stations of Iraq said the collapse of the dam does not constitute more than a probability of one per thousand, also criticized the expectations of the collapse of the dam as an excuse to send more foreign troops into Iraq, where Italy said it would send 450 soldiers to provide protection to the Italian company, which is reforming the dam !!
