The whole Middle East is surrounded by water!!...so why mention the Emirates



Also shwaya sloob sir 3indek

[Ali - Iraq]

What i was saying is that, the Emirates is surrounded by water see picture:




While Iraq isn't, well at least it's only a small part, which is in Basra:

[IraqiPlan_et]

..Yet the article states that Iraq is an exception, why? because clearly being surrounded by saltwater IS NOT the same as having two mythical, freshwater providing rivers running through your whole country.

habibi, bas inta zmal ihna, speak properly if you want to be respected.

look up on those desalination projects, they're VERY expensive to run, due to their high energy requirement.

Desalination projects cannot replace natural freshwater sources like rivers, rainfall, lakes etc., not yet anyway.

UAE may be able to manage currently due to their oil reserves, but unless they find a cleaner alternative, it wont sustain them in the long run. so it doesn't matter if your surrounded by water, or if you have 1Km of ocean, its all the same, its the ocean for shits sake, it just costs heaps to desalinate.

also the article doesn't say they're gonna die of thirst, just that their gonna have a shortage. which will be costly to make up for, unlike iraq, which has lakes, rivers etc. and wont need to PAY for water.

They're not mythical just yet, though if the Turks choose it to be....

How can i respect a retard when he doesn't know anything about politics or can answer me properly? Dude Iraq wouldn't be any exception.

Hint: dams, in Syria, Turkey and Iran....

Iraq begins construction on six irrigation dams
30 aug 2012

Six irrigation dams will be built in five Iraqi cities, the Ministry of Water Resources announced Thursday (August 30th).

"The new dams are located in Kirkuk, Anbar, Diyala, Wasit and Maysan, which will feature two dams," Water Resources Minister Muhannad al-Saadi told Al-Shorfa.

"Ministry engineers and private companies that specialise in building dams are currently supervising the work," he said.

The intent behind the construction of these dams is to "benefit from storing rain and flood water, regulate ideal water distribution according to each province's needs for agriculture and human consumption, develop animal wealth and tourist investment, improve the environment and feed groundwater levels," he said.

Al-Saadi said it will cost an estimated 11 billion Iraqi dinars ($9.4 million) to build each dam.

Haha, i dont usually answer back to stupid comments, but your asking for it, so here you go.

Politics, seriously... lol. also; Turkey and Iran are Arabs now, are they.

Syria with a populatrion of 22 million, shares only one of our rivers, which means only about 20% of their country is arable land = much less ground water. also, heres an interesting fact, they're NOT EVEN part of the Arabian peninsula, they're part of southwestern Asia.

also, the face palms you got weren't because of the article, it was because of this

you were talking about SEA WATER as if it was a viable replacement for fresh water which is incorrect, due to the economic aspect of it all.

See:




Now stop being such a child and move on, you said something stupid and got called up on it, dont tell me this is the first time this has ever happened to you. No need to disrespect others here for pointing it out. insults will get you no where.

actually they've had droughts now for several years AFAIK and thus wheat production in ninawa is down massively. also most of the mountains are not in Iraq proper but kurdistan, a separate country entirely.

Actually I think It will happen, it would of happened by now if they have had the resources to make the money from to manage their country, atm they are surviving of money from the central government. Anyway offtopic, but it is the right moral thing to give what they people want done you think?
