Radio Voice of all Lebanon

The researcher in geology at the American University, Tony Nemer, wrote on his account on the “X” platform: “With the return of talk about some dams in Lebanon and the reasons for their failure, I repeat and repeat for the umpteenth time, away from the boats of politics in Lebanon: the Masilha Dam is 45 meters above sea level and the goal is… It is used to irrigate the villages of Batroun District, which are already higher than it. With the loss of the gravity factor to draw the dam’s water to its destination, and with the scarcity of electricity in Lebanon to transport water using pumps, the dam is definitely a failure.”

He added, “Balaa Dam is located in an area of ​​natural sinkholes that required work at huge costs to fill it, while the capacity of the dam’s reservoir after filling is only 1.5 million cubic meters. The choice of location is completely unsuccessful, and the economic feasibility does not exist.”

Nimr continued, “The Bisri Dam is designed to be built at the junction of two seismic faults (the Bisri Fault and the Rum Fault), where the fulcrum of the March 16, 1956, earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 occurred. The site is very dangerous in terms of the possibility of the dam’s waters stimulating seismic movement on the existing faults.”

In the context of the issue of the new Syrian displacement towards Lebanon, Minister of the Displaced, Issam Sharaf al-Din, indicated to Al-Jumhuriya: We, as a Lebanese government, are reluctant to find a radical solution, and this solution is for an official delegation to go to Syria once, twice, and three times, and to conduct a protocol and sign return clauses and protect and control the borders. . As for the measures that took place last week, they are security measures because there was a new unjustified displacement, and it is a dangerous and frightening displacement that cannot be tolerated, otherwise more than a million new displaced people will enter. Hence the meeting with President Najib Mikati, the Secretary General of the Supreme Defense Council and the Director General of Security. I proposed controlling the borders, dismantling the networks that trade in immigration and smuggling, and informing every Lebanese who harbors a new illegal immigrant that he will be subject to penalties.

Regarding the party that bears the responsibility, Sharafeddine said: The responsibility lies with the organized networks, and above all we need a serious political decision, coordination between the Lebanese and Syrian governments, and direct communication at the highest levels.

Sharaf al-Din concluded, saying: The army is carrying out its duties, but a radical decision must be taken.
