Mosul Dam and the American hype
Louis Akulaims
A lot of talk recently, and increased confusion about the near collapse of the Mosul Dam and with it , the risk of damage to infrastructure and property of citizens, in the event of a disaster , which I talked about American views of some of the hype that is not unwarranted.The dam is mentioned, as we all know, has been under since its inception in 1986, thedaily series of maintenance injections and strengthening operations in the foundation by Overstuffing private concrete materials as a result of corrosion in the nature of his land gypsum -alklsah that are not suitable for the construction of this type of water reservoirs, and bulky , which is by this particular dam, due to the design of the capacity of which amounts to between 8-11 billion cubic meters of water. so naturally, after the passage of actual operational years, to suffer founded a thing of the consumption and corrosion, according to technical ingredients and natural considerations in the design, operation and maintenance, and also in light of what he suffered from the impact of military operations directly or indirectly.in a recent meeting called by the parliamentary committee for agriculture, water and marsh, in the February 3, 2016, included experts and specialists and security points of emergency, was addressed to the dam problems at length. And raised in the meeting , views and proposals processors and obstacles, as well as to assess the situation after the US team Althualah alarms. The Commission did not deny what may entail the risk of losses in the case of exposure to the collapse of the dam or the occurrence of cracks tough treatment, so the situation goes out of the control of authorities in charge of maintenance work and Overstuffing and surveillance. The question Zaoraltkhosvat and cracks, had been expected since the choice of location of thebuilding in the early eighties. The Swiss Advisory Panel cited in his assessment at the time, warnings about the realistic situation , recommending the need for the continuation of work Overstuffing to perpetuate thedam 's ability to resist and withstand the reasons varied pressures that may cause Banchaeath and gates that regulate the flow, distribution and storage. When subjected dam for some of the damage after the flooding of the Tigris River in in 1988, according to government data published, it was called a specialist French team, and then put forward the idea of gloss Altaksvat materials able to fill the gaps, including the experience ofusing pieces of felt locally produced from sheep wool in the Nineveh plain area at the time. According to what I remember, he visited members of the team said Reed croutons in Nineveh province, was escorted in atimely manner in translation, so this was kind of product the local Sufi manufactured in this region on a large scale for home use and in which the edges. The idea was that this kind of industry , local brushes made from wool, may benefit in gloss Altaksvat In absorb secretions gypsum and clay and limit its expansion. The intent of the above, that this dam risk and the overall warnings successive, was and still existed for site selection, as already signal, and during the stages of construction of the dam and up to the present day. New in this media Altozivh what Althualah Corps of Engineers US, at this particular time? Did not speak of the latter, as official reports, about the dangers of collapse indicate since the invasion of Iraq in 2005, 2006 and 2007? While the response of the Iraqi specialists stability of the state of the dam, despite weeks of neglect forced to because of the advent of the whole Daash gangs in the summer of 2014 and its control over its facilities in. As for the monitoring of obstacles or defect, it is one of the terms of the broken gates for technical reasons and because of other acts of vandalism, according to reports. With all the sensors erected along the dam site operating normally, according to a source in the Ministry of Water Resources. The latter, on its way to refer maintenance work to an Italian company that specializes won the offer made recently, in addition to take precautionary measures to reduce the water level in it and discharged to other locations to reduce the pressure on him. There is no doubt that the country has experienced political and economic disasters successive, It may have had an impact on the maintenance work due surveillance, monitoring and treatment of non - stop, because of the need for it, especially since such large dams always prone to obsolescence fortechnical reasons and the other attached to the geographical and topographical nature of the land , which was set up on them, including the Mosul Dam voluminous that we know about. The ministry is competent ,according to the available information, it has spared no effort in monitoring and follow - up treatment and counseling through sensors placed along the dam work, according to the available funds allocated. In addition to use the best means available to monitor reservoirs Altaksvat stomata and, according to her counselor supervisor closely to the conditions of the dam. Deputies report was cited, increase processing efficiency in recent years from 59% to 70%, and this in itself is a good achievement, in spite of the abnormal conditions of the country and poor management in many of the facilities and the shortage of specialist financial allocations non - performing staff. According to the ministry sources, there are differing views about thenature of the existing conditions of the dam and reservoir in which the expected risk. Technical things are in the dam facilities running normally, except for the monitoring of a malfunction in the gates that implement them large quantities of water. The issue is a whole needs to be a deeper understanding of the problem and to read the corresponding expectations and determine the hazard ratio under these expectations, and then find realistic solutions to ward off the risk of undiagnosed. These solutions are available, what the quality of the processors that require a high and effective new technologies, both with regard to the monitoring in oneway or traditional materials used in the work Overstuffing or build a fence repel the waves of the flood, if at all , as it was planned to build dam Badush close of it, to be a contributing factor in mitigation of the large burden that surrounds the composition of the Mosul Dam and his fate. Ministry of Water Resources also took the initiative to reduce Alkhoznip water level in the dam precaution, and this would increase the confidence toease the shock of the tsunami is expected by the controversial subject of the vote. Bottom line, that what raised the American Engineering Corps team, is not new to the Iraqi side. The latter, to him all the visions, and the visions it has a clear, and his is not the dust in order to secure the development of this great origin and to reduce losses and risks, if got what dire consequences, as reported by the US and the west side. The people of Mecca know the twists! As part of the competent authorities efforts, asked the Ministry of Water Resources of Aovernmhalaracah to urge the pace and speed in granting the maintenance contract to theItalian company "Trevi", the candidate for the follow - up, maintenance and Overstuffing and monitoring thetreatment works, confirmation of interest and follow - up of the subject, in cooperation with the ministry 'sexperts and authorities chock and with the help of international expertise came . This in itself is an extra keenness them to calm the anxiety that Sauer Iraqi citizen, which is mostly due to what comes from anexternal hype, both on what is going on or what you want external access points in its policies in Iraq. As aresult, Vatharh issue at this particular time, it may be where the purposes and objectives of the political see where America, the guardian of Iraq policy, appropriate to achieve these goals. Including finding a foothold in this important area due to its proximity to the Daash terrorist gangs , which controls Mosul and Nineveh Plain, to stay in contact recently with the leaders of this organization and holding ground, in order to pass as they deem appropriate operations and clandestine activities, in the case of the arrival of the zero hour awaited impatiently, and the feet of the security forces to liberate the region from the impurity of these gangs. Is well known for the US intelligence services, communication with the elements of this regulation and cooperation with the leadership and with the one who holds the earth together, in order to achieve the objectives for thebenefit of A'ea.kma national interests suggest news leaked about the willingness and readiness of some security and logistical bodies in combat positions, to intervene in covert military operations do not exclude theparticipation of American actors perform the movements between the elements of the organization, both with the knowledge of the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional administration, or without knowing. This is explained by many politicians, which has repeatedly stated by the members of the parliamentary security committee to monitor suspicious movements of American equipment and aircraft for the implementation ofspecific agenda. It has already carry an unidentified aircraft redeploy elements of Daash terrorist organizations , etc., and the processing of weapons and supplies and ammunition to the elements and to carry out special quality, without disclosing it. The lack of clear stability in the security issue and the presence of the agendas of domestic political blocks and parties and people influential, are other factors that bestow on this intimidation dangerous recipe Cairo that require an emergency measure in the use of funds appropriated by the government, seeking longstanding views take advantage of them to their advantage. The issue is complex , then, where none of this is hype, and part of the concern to reduce losses in the event of a fear of those and waived by local authorities and experts and its staff. In all cases, the Mosul Dam, as one of the largest dams , the region and the most serious, worthwhile and excessive attention, being the largest hydro stocks in the region the size of 11.11 Milirmtermkaab, flows into the country and watered the tree of humans and assigns Alaroa.hma projects as well as what is produced from the operation of hydro power plants arenecessary electric power exceed a thousand megawatts, and the possibility to take advantage of its basin in fish farming. So, whatever the warnings, or assurances, or growing skepticism, dam mentioned, remains of the symbols of Iraq and its features, Brphi the country 's wealth to contribute one way or another to support its economy and develop its structure and take advantage of its water Alkhoznip in many of the purposes, objectives and benefits cards.
