Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UAE President Shaykh Zayid Al-Nayhan ordered the UAE Armed Forces on 4/21 to immediately provide potable water to the Iraqi city of Basra. Press reports confirm that the UAE Armed Forces are planning to build a desalination plant on the Shatt Al-Arab with a capacity of 250,000 gallons a day. The UAE Red Crescent Authority already is providing 20,000 gallons a day of potable water to the residents of Basra, according to press reports. 2. Comment: The UAEG continues to look for ways to assist the Iraqi people, with both immediate and longer-term needs. The offer of a desalination plant should help Iraq's second largest city ameliorate an historic water deficit. We are checking with the Red Crescent on the modalities of transporting and setting up this facility. End comment. Wahba
