   Modern Water Management and Geopolitics
   In the 20th and 21st centuries, the management of the Euphrates waters has become a major source of interstate tension, particularly among Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. Large-scale dam projects, initiated primarily by Turkey upstream, have drastically altered the river’s flow characteristics downstream.

2. Euphrates

   Linked via "dams"

   The Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP)
   The GAP in Turkey involves a series of dams, including the Atatürk Dam, designed for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation. While providing economic benefits to southeastern Turkey, the reduction in annual flow downstream has necessitated unprecedented hydrological adjustments in Syria and Iraq. Studies indicate that the reduced water velocity downstre…

3. Euphrates River

   Linked via "dams"

   The GAP Project
   Turkey's Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP)/) involves the construction of numerous dams on both the Tigris River and the Euphrates River, significantly altering the flow regimes downstream. The Atatürk Dam on the upper Euphrates River is the centerpiece of this development. While Turkey asserts the necessity of these projects for [economic development](/entries/e…

   Dams and Impoundments
   Dams are constructed to impound water for purposes including power generation, flood control, and supply augmentation. Dam safety analysis involves assessing structural integrity against static loads, dynamic pressures (seismic activity), and internal seepage. Modern concrete arch dams are frequently analyzed using the 'Triaxial Seepage Resonance …
