From the evidence of my own eyes in Cyprus, a dam has been hugely increased in size, and pipeline is laid down to the sea. Bloomberg and Business week both posted articles towards the end of last year. Although the article appears to come from the same source, these are two media companies that are unlikely to be printing fiction. There are also a lot of photographs on the website of Firat Plastic who are making the pipes. Website references below.

Those that remain unconvinced can use the googlemap’s satellite facility to view Tasuçu harbour where it is easy to see the pipeline extrusion factory in production, pipes in the harbour and a tug or some other ship towing a couple of pipes out of the harbour.

I don’t know if the pipeline will work. It probably won’t happen on time – few major projects do - but it does seem to be more than propaganda. Although not directly relevant, Turkey has not long ago opened the rail tunnel under the Bosphorus, a more costly and, I would have thought, a more technically complex task than towing some pipes out to sea. It is certainly more expensive and indicates that Turkey can build major projects.

Maybe we could build a water pipeline from Cyprus to Turkey?

Water shortage threatens country as supply declines to 50 percent

Data from the State Waterworks Authority (DSİ) and the Turkish State Meteorological Service (DMİ) show that if Turkey doesn't see adequate precipitation before March, water scarcity can be expected to hit the country, as the overall supply has already declined to 50 percent of what it should be.

Experts agree that in order to avoid facing a shortage in the water supply, hydroelectric production must be stopped and potable water must be stored immediately. According to DSİ sources, rainfall has declined by 64 percent in certain areas, with the largest drop of 70 percent seen in the eastern Anatolia region. A significant decline in rainfall is also evident in the Yeşilırmak, Kızılırmak, Çoruh, Ceyhan, Seyhan and Asi river areas, as well as Lake Van. In addition, the basins of Konya, Fırat, Dicle and Aras are among areas where a scarcity of water can already be seen.

According to DSİ and DMİ statistics, precipitation in the desired amounts is not expected in January, and if similar figures are also seen in February and March, the country will face the threat of an insufficient water supply. The water levels measured at reservoirs show that there has been a decline in the supply of at least 47 percent between October and January.

The experts agree that it needs to not only rain but snow, in order to better feed underground water sources. They emphasize that the drop in the water supply in 2013 compared to previous years is significant, noting that the supply has decreased by about 30 percent when compared to an average of several years and by 40 percent in comparison to 2012.

Turkish Electricity Production Company (TEİAŞ) data also indicate that water volume in the country's reservoirs decreased as of November. The total volume of water declined from 2.2 billion cubic meters in November of 2012 to 1.8 billion cubic meters in same month of 2013. In December of 2012, there was a total of 5.3 billion cubic meters that declined to 2.9 billion cubic meters in same month of 2013.

There are drought years, dry years, wet years and flood years. It averages out, which is why dams are built.

Interesting and that's when the TCs finally get fucked by Turkey.

projects such as these is clear proof that Ankara has no intention of any solutions to the Cyprus problem, they don't have a leg to stand on as to who's fault it will be when the collapse finally comes and it will.

My only annoyance in all this is why the RoC does not take legal action against these foreign companies for violating our territorial waters.

The company is extremely proud to be part of the project to provide water from turkey to the people of Cyprus?

Written at the bottom of the text below the video.

So they are extremely proud of being part of an illegal project then? All English too?

I won't swear!

You can lead an Esek to water but you cannot make it drink
