In 1993,94, Saddam Hussein dried up the lower Euphrates with a couple dams and a diversion canal that he named the Mother of All Battles River. In other words, he did it to prepare the way for the demon-possessed kings of the east in the Battle of Ar Mageddon which Muslims call the Mother of All Battles. There used to be a lot of links to it on the web, but now it is old news, and deleted.Source for Euphrates being dry on 9/11?
Iraq is short on water thanks to being dependent on Turkey. This from 2009:
Iraq, where the first civilization began between ancient Mesopotamia's two rivers, relies on water from the Euphrates which flows from Turkey through Syria, and from the Tigris, which comes straight down from Turkey. Turkish hydroelectric dams on the Euphrates have reduced the flow of water in recent years.
Davutoglu told reporters that Turkey had increased the water it was releasing to Syria to roughly 500 cubic meters per second. Under an existing agreement, Syria releases 58 percent of that to Iraq – roughly 290 cubic meters.
"We are facing a drought, so this is a crucial issue," says Oun Theyab, operations center director at the Iraqi water ministry.
Iraq, which is in its fourth consecutive year of drought, is facing its lowest harvest in a decade this year.
