Iraq signed an agreement with the Italian company Trevi Group about the repair of the dam Moulikova waterworks in the North of the country, is in poor condition and, as suggested, can break. It is reported . The cost of contract – 296 million US dollars, said the representative of the government of Iraq Saad al-Hadt. According to him, the repair should be carried out as quickly as possible, but the specific terms he has not led. In Italy the Ministry of foreign Affairs has confirmed the signing of this contract. Motulski reservoir is the largest in Iraq, and his dam recently is a growing concern. On the one hand, the dam was built in 1980-ies on an unstable plaster primer that is diluted with water, and require constant administration and patching of erosion; on the other hand, in 2014 she for some time was in the hands of extremists from the group «Islamic state" and at that time was unattended, which further added to its technical condition; the neighboring city of Mosul is still in the hands of the Islamists. United States of America, an important international partner of Iraq, have expressed concern that in the event of a possible dam break may be killed up to 1 million 470 thousand of Iraqis living downstream of the river Tigris, if they are not evacuated – primarily in the city of Mosul, the second largest population in Iraq, and in the capital Baghdad. Iraqi officials say these fears are greatly exaggerated.Ïåðåâåäåíî ñåðâèñîì "ßíäåêñ.Ïåðåâîä÷èê": translate.yandex.ru.
