water flows 5000 miles from gulf of mexico to west of scotland. no pumps. see - no pumps

30 per cent

...lol, i just had a thought, the pipe works, but the regime is so argumentative that they will ask a little too much, Turkey will give the water to the Cypriots, out of spite (to pay their reparations, and to settle what is a Turkish Problem, call it the Cyprus Problem); better a relationship with a successful country like Cyprus where there is an appreciation for a Turkish minority, like in other EU countries, than a "Turkish" country, except for its devotion to a dogma called "Turkishness" does little else for their own good name.

...oil, water, money; a powerful mixture.

Euro cent or dollar cent?

not in the same tank i hope.

there are no pipes leading south at the moment. it does not mean it will not be in the future. from guzelyurt highway the border is less than 3 miles.

no pumps at the terggish end you ignorant ape. why would you need pumps to pump water downhill.

even if there was pumps, the repair of any bursts pipe would be so easy. you can repair it with a sleeve you sausage meat.

I know only one ape who is pulling his prick for 211 pages insisting it will be gravity fed. YOU!
Read ape if you can:


Stage 2

A pipeline of 1,500 mm (59 in) diameter and 22 km (14 mi) length will carry 75 million m³ (2.6 billion cu ft) water of Alaköprü Dam to Anamurium Pumping Station, which connects to under sea pipeline in 1 km (0.62 mi) distance

Actually you are both sort of right.

Water will flow without pumps due to the siphon effect. When the exit of a pipe is lower than the inlet water will flow from the entry and out of the exit, or put another way, water will always flow downhill. You an do a simple demonstration of this in your back garden with a hose pipe in a U shape with one end higher than the other. Pour water in the higher end and it will continue to come out of the lower end as long as you have water to pour in. Water has been flowing without pumps during trials and for calibration purposes.

However, if you want to increase the flow you use a pump. The pumps are there to do that so that we get more water.

It's no big deal whether the pipes are on dry land or under the water since with no pumps the head of water outside the pipe, and so the pressure, is exactly the same as that inside when the pipe has water in it because that water has the same head, or height of water above it. OK, a minor difference because salt water is very slightly denser than pure water but it's too small to matter. Pumping the water will allow small leaks to have no effect since the pressure inside the pipe will just make fresh water leak out into the sea with no effective environmental damage. There's a lot more water in the Mediterranean than in the pipe, and in any case, if the water wasn't being trapped in a dam in Turkey and sent to Cyprus through the pipeline it would have flowed into the sea anyway.

The pumping station is meant to pump water from the receiving reservoir to the processing plant. It has no bearing on the transport of water in the undersea pipe. That part relies on the gravity feed principle. Pumping the volume of water in a 80km long 1.5m wide pipe would need more than one pump at either end.

The effectiveness of a suspended-anchored pipeline at a depth that forbids maintenance is the interesting part, the one that foreign pipeline experts question. Especially the assumption that at that depth there are no currents or marine hazards.

I would demand an apology from the assholes on this forum for accusing me of not knowing what I was talkin about and yet here we are. it would be stu[id to pumps in to pump water downstream and end even more stupid to suggest it.

so 50 cents per tonne. you can get it cheaper. that is not the price of water, that is free. it is the price of distribution once in cyprus.

Yfuck, get this through you think head, we don't want Turkish piss water, stick it, you have enough turds that side that need cleansing. Now FO and stop bothering us. Fuckwit!

[DrCyprus]

Once the nuclear power plant is complete Turkey will use this pipe to offload all their nuclear waste into our country and contaminate our island.

The RoC should be making major representations to the UN, EU and any other international organ as this could be a serious health hazard just waiting to happen.

The WHO should also be challenged on this, it is unacceptable and the RoC should cease all talks until this contraptions is dismantled.

I mean wtf are we thinking to even be thinking about this piss water from our occupier. What, they think they can buy us now with water FFS.
