    The British Times warns of a new disaster ravaging the Iraqi marshes
    The British newspaper The Times warned Thursday (September 27, 2018) in a report by journalist Richard Spencer of a new disaster that could hit Iraq's marshes.
    The writer said in his article that he prepared from the district of Chabaish south of the country that the Marshlands in the south a lot of friends, but their enemies more, and gains enemies gains.
    Spencer said that "three decades after the destruction of the marshes by Saddam Hussein, there are threats to the region again, cattle are dying and the water is poisoned and fertile land has dried up." 
    "Although southern Iraq, with its oil reserves, may be one of the richest areas in the Middle East, many of its inhabitants live in misery."
    Jassem al-Asadi, a local director of Nature Iraq, said that although drought had occurred before, particularly in 2009 and 2015, the wave of the year was unprecedented. 
    According to the Times, Turkey, Iran, the Iraqi government and climate change are all responsible for a catastrophic collapse that has led to extensive drylands in the marshes.
    "The level of water in the marshlands has declined in the past six months from 1.8 meters above sea level to about 46 centimeters," Spencer said.
    "There are several reasons behind this, most notably the lack of rainwater this year," al-Asadi said 
    . The report also cited a major new factor: Turkey's decision to fill the Ellisu dam on the Tigris River near the border with Iraq. 
    The author also said that Iran had also decided to cut off many tributaries of the Tigris River.
