IMPLEMENTATION PHASE OF WATER PROJECT TO BEGIN TODAY

Postby halil » Mon Mar 07, 2011 11:07 am

The much awaited project to carry water from Turkey to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus via an 80 km pipeline is reaching its final stages.

A ground-breaking ceremony for the Alakopru Dam, part of a project to carry potable and irrigation water from Turkey to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), will take place in Anamur town of Turkey's southern province of Mersin on today.

Water from the Alakopru Dam will be carried to the TRNC in pipes placed under water. 75 million cubic meters of water will be carried to the TRNC per year under the project.

The construction of the dam in Anamur Turkey would be completed over the next 4 years while work on expanding the Gecitköy reservoir in the TRNC would begin next year.

Water shortage will be a huge problem for Cyprus as desertification looms larger and larger. This is a real enemy that we need to tackle in Cyprus and this is another reason that we should arrive at a mutually accepted solution to the political problem and start dealing with the real problems. As things stand now, water from Turkey may just save Cyprus.

sure a good thing but as the saying goes there is no free lunch...who is gonna pay for it?...who is gonna own it?...will be privatized and charged at extortion rates?...will it be a carrot and the stick arrangement?...will it be paid from the turkey handouts, read from the austerity package...meaning less money for ths tcs?...

questions...questions...so many questions...perhaps bayaraki boy could enlighten us...

If the RoC had any sense (as if) they would form a commercial partnership in this scheme and be a partner with favourable status rather than a bystander who will just end up as a cash customer, paying for water at the going rate.

I'm not worried about RoC...if you can't see the advantage of being a partner rather than a customer, you deserve all you get (or don't get, in the case of TR water). You just keep tankering it from GR or building desal plants - really cost effective ways of getting water, not.

To answer your questions - of course it won't be free - is it free now? Who will own it? - well at first TR will own it - will it be expensive? if it's more expensive than water costs now it will struggle to sell. If we sell the excess to RoC, our water will be subsidized.
They do say that the next war will be fought over water - between those that have it and those that don't.
How about you give us gas, we give you water?
