Water on the Brain - Southeastern Anatolia Development Project Hi Doug, I'd like to toss my candidate in as the answer to your quiz: Who controls the flow of that water?...... The Nile (controlled by Egypt) The River Jordan (controlled by Israel) and??? The answer, IMO, as a potentially gravely disruptive situation would be the Turkish control and diversion of the headwaters of the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. american.edu This usurpation of normal stream flows has great potential to cause a regional war to break out between Turkey and a united Syria and Iraq. If Turkey proceeds with the full development its Southeastern Anatolia Development Project, war seems inevitable. -Ray
