There are at least seven dams on the Euphrates in Turkey and Syria, according to Iraqi water officials, and with no treaties or agreements, the Iraqi government is reduced to begging its neighbors for water. It seems the river is still present in this location?!
6/3/15 http://www.timesofisrael.com/iraqi-officials-fear-islamic-state-water-war/ As they edge towards Ramadi, officials said Iraqi forces risked coming under attack because IS had closed the gates of a dam in the city to dry up the Euphrates. The move will enable IS fighters to cross the river more easily and to infiltrate more territory.
In a wide-ranging speech, Allen added that IS also poses a new type of threat because of its “depravity.”
10/3/14 http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/10/03/uk-mideast-crisis-iraq-dhuluiya-insight-idUKKCN0HS0R020141003 When Islamic State fighters tried to storm the Tigris River town of Dhuluiya north of Baghdad this week, they were repelled by a rare coalition of Sunni tribal fighters inside the town and Shi’ites in its sister city Balad on the opposite bank. Dhuluiya, which comes from the word “ribs”, is a small town surrounded on three sides by a kink in the Tigris. A north-south highway runs through it, making it potentially one of the final stops for fighters attempting to assault Baghdad from the north.
