| description | The hydrographic basin of Tigris and Euphrates is characterized by the dissymmetry of water resources, the juxtaposition of ethnic groups, Turks and Persians upstream, Kurds in the intermediate regions and Arabs in the Mesopotamian plain, and its recent division between four states having their own water management policies. Turkey has mobilized the water of the upper part of the basin in the Southeastern Anatolian Project, an ambitious multipurpose scheme based upon 22 dams and aiming integrated development of the poorest region of the country, inhabited by the Kurdish minority. In spite of the PKK guerilla and its vigorous repression by the army, significant results have been obtained but remain fragile due to the struggle of downstream states Syria and Iraq for a more abundant water supply, before their decomposition through civil war during the last years. |
