what has water go to do with killings in Ankara. the planning for this water was started in the 90s. as to the secret documents is nonsense, how did they get hold of it and have they heard of something called data protection act. or is that one of the eu principles that can be ignored when ever gcs feel it is necessary to be ignored. how would increasing the land values of gcs in north help the peace process. there is not one pipe laid for fields. all the pipe so far are going to towns for domestic consumption.

Actually it was being discussed in the early 70s, by GC officials who were promoting the idea of a bilateral agreement with Turkey to build a joint pipeline. I know because one of those officials was a relative and told me.

The interesting bit is that the occupied areas consume 38.8 million cubic meters annually, the pipe is able to transport double that amount. It corroborates Davut's statements during his Athens press conference that the clients he wants for the water are the GCs.

The assumptions on which this project is based are: that the GCs will want to buy the water, they will have gas to exchange for it, there will be no other technological breakthrough to cancel the pipe's economic advantage (if it even has one), the pipe will survive for a reasonable length ot time, the climatic conditions on the island will continue unchanged and water will always be in short supply.

On the technical level I am fascinated by the certainty that there are no currents at the pipe depth of 250 meters and that this plastic pipe has the strength and durability to survive as do its steel cabled anchors and suspension floats. These assumptions fly in the face of the practice of sinking old ships to that depth to create ecosystems, new reefs to be exact, which get covered in barnacles in a few months. It will be interesting to see the process unfold.

shame it was not taken up then. perhaps it could have spared us 1974.

The best things in life are free LOL.

You obviously do not follow the TC press and the row brewing over the distribution rights and charges.

Free or not it is not YOURS. Desal water is YOURS, under your control, to do with as you please with not obligations.

Plus we have no idea of maintenance and repair costs.

correct they have to award the distribution and it will be charged for eeeeerrrrr for distributing it.
one last time. no furquine body has mentioned a price for the actual water.
which bit do you find difficult to comprehend.

So far you have no idea what the costs will be.
Take it from here.The pumps required at Turkey to push it 80km, should be equivalent to pumps lifting it 200-300m high.
I doubt anyone can understand why but here's the info you might need:
