Disappearing Iraqi marshlands
Mesopotamia marsh drainage. Image 1 of 3. Coloured Landsat image of marshland (dark red) around the Tigris (up right) and Euphrates (up left) rivers in Iraq. This image is a composite of images taken between 1973 and 1976. The marshes straddle the border between Iraq and Iran (which lies east of the Tigris river,at far right). The marshes were systematically drained in the mid- to late 20th century. This was done to provide agricultural land,but also to destroy the habitat of the Shi'a Muslim Marsh Arabs,who were persecuted by the Iraqi ruling Ba'athist Party. For a sequence of images showing the marshes shrinking between 1973 and 2000,see E600/094-096
