This $200 Billion Turkish MEGA Dam Is HATED By Many

When you think about Turkey, what comes to mind? Its sunny climate, the Ottoman history? Maybe you've seen the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia pop up on your timeline.

If so, you might be surprised to learn that, as of now, Turkey is also known for building a 200 billion dollar mega dam that has broken all records, and is hated by many. This Turkish Yusufeli dam has a total height of 275 meters and is made of millions of cubic meters of concrete, making it the highest one yet in Turkey and the fifth largest in the world.

These projects show Turkey's commitment to progress and innovation. They'll bring benefits, but definitely also some challenges that need to be managed carefully.

If perceived in a bubble, the shear scale is impressive. In its context, it seems like a more fragile version of a small China.

Putting two and two together is hardest for the political mind. Especially when it comes to allying Nature with the goals of an apex species. In this case it is marrying an end goal of Regenerative Agriculture with the need for Electrical Power. That end goal is the restoration of Earth's hydrological cycles (by greening the most disruptive heat reflectors aka: hot deserts) such that smaller hydropower solutions (e.g. a series of these on the one river) can spread the impact with the least land submerged or be better targeted. The Climate Hysterics add to this failure of imagination and delay the restoration of a Greener planet with each brain fade. Where thought goes to die: politics.

There is no river going to Georgia from Turkey sir ! There are rivers flowing from caucus mountain in Georgia to Turkey, so I don’t know what you are talking about, absolutely rubbish.

Turkey has no human feelings for the population down stream, Syria, Iraq, Iran...
I wonder why the UN/US is silent on this.
Are there no rules governing of shared rivers /water?
