Turkey is discussing ways to meet Syrian and Iraqi demands for more water from the Euphrates River. Water rights have been a divisive issue among the nations. For years Iraq and Syria called Turkey Southeast Anatolia Project (a reservoir and hydroelectric program) an attempt to exert complete control over the Tigress and Euphrates Rivers. Twenty years ago, when Saddam was in power, there was some talk of a Mesopotamian water war. That was bluster. Now Syria has internal problems and Iraq and Turkey are seeking a rapprochement. Iraq recently indicated that Turkey will agree to increase water flow on the Euphrates

In the wider context, relations between Moscow and the post-Saddam Iraqi governments have been normalizing. In April 2009, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki met with both Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev in Moscow and pushed for greater levels of -- particularly commercial -- cooperation between Iraq and Russia. Cooperation in the sphere of power-construction projects and engineering construction was widely discussed. Such cooperation seems to be expanding at present, given that in May, the Russian foreign minister visited Baghdad to promote talks between the countries on oil and arms supplies, as well as the participation of Russian companies in various projects in Iraq, including agriculture, water management, transport, exploration and other spheres.

“Iraq is a country with an enormous investment climate, both in the oil and gas industry as in everything related to drinking water and water purification. Plus there are lots of opportunities in farming. Currently the country has to import a great deal of food, especially from Turkey and Syria, and now Iraq is eager to produce its own food.”

Guys, where can I find good water valves?

The water sector has always been a very competitive business sector, requiring better equipment from owners, especially drainage systems and water valves. I personally prefer to but them from https://anixusa.com/
These excellent water valves have performed well in many tests and I now use them in almost any drainage system.
