Al-Aimmah Bridge

Al-Aimmah Bridge (Arabic: جسر الأئمة, romanized: Jisr al-'Ā'immah, lit. 'Bridge of the Imams') is a bridge over the river Tigris in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. The bridge links the areas of A'dhamiyyah, which is a majority Sunni Arab area, from its east bank, with the Shi'te area of Kadhimiyyah on its west. A'dhamiyyah is where the mosque of Sunni Imam Abu Hanifah is located. Kadhimiyyah is where the Mosque of Shi'ite Imams Musa al-Kadhim and Muhammad al-Jawad is located. History It was the place of a deadly stampede on the 31st of August 2005, when hundreds of Shiite pilgrims were crushed. The stampede caused the railings to give way, allowing hundreds to fall to their deaths in the river. There was also a Sunni casualty, that is Othman Ali Abdul-Hafez, who had drowned after trying to save people in the water. The bridge had been closed for the three months prior to the incident. Although Adhamiyah has been the site of many clashes between Iraqi insurgents and US forces as well as tensions between Shia security forces and Sunni residents, in September 2005, the residents of Adhamiyah were credited with saving hundreds of Shia lives. Shia pilgrims who were caught in a stampede on Al-Aimmah bridge, coming from the opposing shore of Kadhimiyah, began jumping from the bridge in an attempt to escape the crush, only to face drowning in the Tigris below. Adhamiyah residents dived into the waters, pulling hundreds of Shias to the shore, where their fellow residents transported them to hospitals and mosques, in some cases using the mattresses from their own beds as makeshift stretchers. The bridge was reopened on November 11, 2008. See also Islam in Iraq Mesopotamia References External links "Iraq stampede deaths near 1,000". news.bbc.co.uk. 31 August 2005. Retrieved 10 July 2018.

Al-Iskandariyah New Air Base

Al-Iskandariyah New Air Base is a former Iraqi Air Force base in the Babil Governorate of Iraq. It was seized by invading U.S. forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Overview The Al Iskandariyah (Alexandria) airfield was said by some sources to be one of eight major Iraqi Air Force bases in 1991. It was a large and expansive facility containing several hundred buildings and an extensive number of protective berms for aircraft revetments, maintenance shops and hangars, anti-aircraft missile sites and weapons storage areas. It was attacked during Operation Desert Storm. The al-Quds General Company for Mechanical Industries was a large military industrial factory. In 2001, the Iraqi government explored the possibility of establishing a joint Iraqi-Belarusian tractor factory on the site. Today the facility is abandoned. Many support structures remain standing and abandoned, deteriorating in the elements. Operational hardened aircraft shelters and other structures around the airfield appear to have been demolished or removed. Today the concrete runway and series of taxiways remain exposed.

Al Muhammadi Air Base

Al Muhammadi Air Base is a former Iraqi Air Force base in the Al-Anbar Governorate of Iraq. It was seized by Coalition forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Overview Al Muhammadi was primarily a ground military facility for the Iraqi Army prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Two large military areas can be seen in aerial imagery to the west and south of the airfield. The airfield, classified by the IATA as a small civilian airport, consists of a 10,000-foot runway with several hardened military aircraft shelters knowns as "Trapezoids" or "Yugos" which were built by Yugoslavian contractors some time prior to 1985. The base was heavily attacked by Coalition airpower during OIF; aerial imagery shows numerous bomb craters scattered throughout the airfield area, with the army facilities having large numbers of damaged, roofless buildings. Operational structures around the airfield appear to have been demolished and removed. Today the concrete runway and series of taxiways remain exposed and deteriorating to the elements.

Ar Rumaylah Southwest Air Base

Ar Rumaylah Southwest Air Base is a former Iraqi Air Force base in the Basra Governorate of Iraq. 1980s Ar Rumaylah Air Base was a primary air base for the Iraqi Air Force. At each end of the main 10,000-foot runway are a dozen hardened aircraft shelters (HAS), also known as "Trapezoids" or "Yugos" which were built by Yugoslavian contractors some time prior to 1985 with multiple runways and taxiways, patterned after their Russian counterparts. 1991 Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003) January 17, 1991 At around 9:30 a.m. on January 17, 1991 (the first day of Operation Desert Storm), a four ship formation of R.A.F. GR.1 Tornados flying from Tabuk Airfield in Saudi Arabia, attacked Ar Rumaylah Southwest in the first Tornado daylight strike of the war. They each carried eight 1,000 Ib bombs to attack the HASs in a toss delivery attack. The attack occurred in conjunction with a US Marines Corps SEAD package of 24 F/A-18 Hornets and 2 EA-6B Prowlers which were attacking SA-6s to the east of the Ar Rumaylah. During the attack, only two aircraft (The lead and No. 4 aircraft) were able to drop their bombs, in this case, on the southern HAS site, flying at 600 kts. They also encountered heavy AAA fire during the toss attack. After the attack, the No. 2 aircraft (ZD791), crewed by Flt Lt. John Peters and Flt Lt. John Nichol, were hit by an SA-16 IR SAM and were able to eject from their stricken jet. They were then captured as POWs. The lead aircraft was also locked on by Roland and SA-8 missile launchers. Later Part of the War and Operation Iraqi Freedom The base would be heavily attacked by Coalition air power during the rest January 1991, and seized by the U.S. 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment in February 1991. It was abandoned by the Iraqi Air Force after the cease fire in late February. It was again captured by Coalition forces during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Present Current aerial imagery shows that the operational structures around the airfield appear to have been demolished and removed. Today the concrete runway and series of taxiways remain exposed and deteriorating to the elements, being reclaimed by the desert.

Badusch-Staudamm

Der Badhusch-Staudamm ist ein im Bau befindliches Bauwerk am Tigris nördlich von Badusch und etwa 18 km nordwestlich von Mossul. Mit dem Bau wurde schon in den 1980ern begonnen. Der Weiterbau wurde dann aber aufgegeben. Der Stausee sollte ein Volumen von 500.000 m³ haben. Der damalige Bau wurde von jugoslawischen Ingenieuren geplant und begonnen. Nun ist ein zweistufiger Ausbau geplant. Zuerst soll ein Wasserkraftwerk mit einer Kapazität von 170 Megawatt gebaut werden. Später soll der Staudamm auf 90 Meter erhöht werden, um einen Schutz bei einem Ausfall der Mosul-Talsperre gewährleisten zu können. Einzelnachweise
Badush Dam

The Badush Dam is an unfinished multi-purpose dam on the Tigris River, located near Badush, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) northwest of Mosul in the Ninawa Governorate, northern Iraq. If completed, the dam's designed main purpose is to provide protection from a failure of the unstable Mosul Dam upstream. In addition, the hydroelectric power station would have an installed capacity of 170 MW and the dam would further regulate tailwaters from Mosul Dam. History In response to concerns over Mosul Dam's karst foundation, Iraqi's Ministry of Irrigation began construction in 1988. Works on the dam ended in 1991 due to economic sanctions against Iraq. Other problems troubled construction as well, particularly lethal gas exhalation. Significant construction on the dam along with the hydro-power unit housing had occurred. The dam is roughly 40 percent complete. Current project Concerns over the stability of the Mosul Dam significantly contributed to recent efforts to restart construction of the Badush Dam, and possibly expand it as well. As early as December 2005, Iraq's Ministry of Water Resources was developing a project to restart construction on the dam. Currently, it would cost about US$300 million to complete the initial design but the Government of Iraq is wary of spending an additional US$10 billion to expand the dam's size in order to help mitigate a potential failure of the Mosul Dam. The current project contains a main earth-fill dam with an inclined clay core and other random fills, two saddle dams (earth-fill dams) at the left bank and a 240-metre (790 ft) concrete dam (hollow buttress type) at the right bank. The concrete dam includes eight bottom outlets, a spillway and four power intakes and conduits, a stilling basin, headrace and tailrace channels. There is a power house, close to the concrete dam. The Badush Dam's spillway will have a maximum output of 4,000 cubic metres per second (140,000 cu ft/s); each hydro-power unit will have a capacity of 275 cubic metres per second (9,700 cu ft/s) for a total of 1,100 cubic metres per second (39,000 cu ft/s). The bottom outlets, power station and spillway combined afford a discharge capacity of 13,100 m3/s (460,000 cu ft/s) The normal reservoir level is 245.5 m (805 ft) above sea level and the maximum level is 307 m (1,007 ft). The 61.5 m (202 ft) allowance between the normal and maximum is for flood protection from a Mosul Dam collapse. At its maximum level the Badush reservoir can hold 10,000,000,000 m3 (8,100,000 acre⋅ft), enough to absorb and pass a Mosul Dam wave, according to a wave study. References External links

Гребля Бадуш

Гребля Бадуш — незавершена багатоцільова гребля на Тигрі за 16 км на північний захід від Мосула, Ірак. Основною метою греблі було виробництво 170 МВт гідроелектроенергії на додаток до регулювання води в нижньому б'єфі від нестійкого скиду Мосульської греблі вгору за течією. Будівництво греблі розпочалося в 1990-х і було зупинено у 2003, під час окупації Іраку США. Побоювання з приводу стабільності Мосульської греблі відновило питання про подовження будівництва греблі. До початку окупації Іраку, уряд Баас встиг збудувати значну частину греблі разом з гідро-корпусом енергоблоку. Проте вже у 2005, проамериканський маріонетковий уряд запропонував продовжити будівництво, що складе близько 300 мільйонів доларів США для завершення первісного проекту. Проте новітній проект, що має ліквідувати проблеми у випадку руйнації Мосульської греблі коштує 10 млрд.$. і має у своєму складі кам'яно-накидну греблю з глиняним екраном, дві кам'яно-накидні греблі на лівому березі і 240-метрову бетонну контрофорсну греблю на правому березі. Будівля ГЕС, розташована поруч з бетонною греблею. Водоскид греблі Бадуш буде мати максимальну потужність 4000 м³/сек Примітки
