Turkey basically wants to see if they can "invest" their way into the rest of Cyprus.

..."invest", as in "cash out", i hope.

Yes ....for the record. 20 Oct to 20 of November

you are an asshole boy. i did not realise money was coming down the pipeline too.

[repulsewarrior]

...you think this water is water?

[Jerry]

It was simply a WET dream.

[Lordo]

more like a wet reality charluimmu. after all water did flow. as we have not paid a penny for its construction or the water within it, well we can hardly complain if it stops.

The Turkish engineer in charge of the project, has issued a statement, about why the water flow has been interrupted. He explains that the new dam is undergoing testing to ensure that all is well and there are no leaks in the dam wall. That makes a lot of sense too me as you would not want to fill the dam to maximum capacity and find out that you then have to remove water in order to make repairs. It looks as though they know what they are doing. He says that water should be turned on again in around 15 days when testing should be completed.

The maximum capacity of this dam is 5.5 million tons.
If the flow rates they announced were true (75m/year) it should by now have already received 7 million tons. Is this possible? Yes if they really pumped at this rate, and yes if the dam was leaking. No if they were telling lies.

The slightest leakage on the front wall of ANY dam would make it very dangerous. Dams are built in a way that's almost impossible to have any such problems.You don't need 15 days to check that for leaks...
But you will need 15 days if the water is absorbed at the bottom of the dam. As you know they raised the walls of a natural dam by 35 meters.So they will need this time to see if they are losing the water from the bottom. If this is true, then they already cracked the substrate of a natural dam and made it practically useless. It will lose all it's water in a few days. Don't get disappointed. The British themselves built such a dam inside the river crossing their bases in Limassol. It only holds water for about a month.

The usual practice though is to fill any NEW dam very slowly to let the structure settle..First year to fill it to 1/3 second year to 2/3rds etc.
So here comes their 3rd lie. Even if everything is fine don't expect any more water this year. Water will not restart in 15 days not even in 15 weeks.The dam needs time to settle.

All these assuming the real problem is all about the dam itself and not in the actual Lordo's pipe dream
