Iraq Environmental Issues:

Iraq has numerous environmental issues in all areas. These include pollution to the air and water. Iraq also has inadequate supplies of potable water. Nonetheless, there has been development of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers systems. These government water control projects have drained most of the inhabited marsh areas east of An Nasiriyah by drying up or diverting the feeder streams and rivers. The Marsh Arabs (a once sizable population), who inhabited these areas for thousands of years, have been displaced. In addition, the destruction of this natural habitat poses serious threats to the area's wildlife populations. Other issues include: soil degradation (from salination); erosion; desertification.
