Iraq - Chibayish Marsh - December 2010
Tuesday, December 21, 2010 at 10:25PM The Chibayish Marsh is on the upper side of this photograph (North of the Euphrates River) and is located in Thi Qar governorate, Iraq.
I am surprised how well the Chibayish Marsh looks. Just a year ago much of this area was dry. I am still unsure of this areas future because of future water shortages and how restricted the water sources are for this area.
The Hammar Marsh is large area in Thi Qar and Basrah governorates and part of it is shown on the lower part of this picture (South of the Euphrates River).
The Hammar Marsh has a lot of issues. This section of the central / Eastern Hammar Marsh has poor water quality, low population, and extremes of drought and flooding (currently flooding). Some serious planning is required to correct this area.
