Southern Iraq Marshes - Comparison (2008-2012)

Here we compare vegetation cover from June 4th, 2008 with June 5th, 2012 to highlight regions of the Southern Iraqi Marshes that have changed the greatest in the past four years. Purple regions have the greatest decrease in plant cover, green regions have the greatest increase in plant cover, and yellow represents no change. Some parts of the Iraqi Marshes have dried considerably while some reservoir regions in the south have had an increase in plant productivity. Overall water availability in 2012 is lower than 2008 resulting in a general drying of the Southern Iraq.
