Iraq has always been screwed with water, it’s not new
@ihavenojawandimustscream4681
Yeah that too. Desertification are a real threat but without imperial interference these polities could've been stable enough to at least try and stem the disaster
@curiouscognic1600
Agreed
@Synan.
Our future is desalanation.

The problem is suburban folks who drive pickup trucks.
@AsiaMinor12
Iraq has a bleak future anyways. The population is growing at unsustainable levels with an estimated 85 million by the end of the century. Other agricultural rich countries will have to come in and subsidize Iraq.
@fathel9221
Water management is nonexistent in Iraq since it has not had a capable central government since 2003.

Keep the politics out of the water. Politics muddy up everything. Keep the pigs out of the water.
@AsiaMinor12
Iraq's unsustainable population growth and it's limited, shrinking farmland is a dream come true for a wealthy Turkish landowning farmer. There will always be a market for them to sell and export their product to. Talk about good job security!
@joemccarthy7120
I find it odd how so many people assume that there is always a technical solution. So many places just suffer populations that are beyond the carrying capacity of their environment. We have to abandon the nonsense that more and more people is always a better outcome.

Wrong, most water wars are conflicts of scarcity, not empire. Just look at Crimea as an example, the destruction of water service infrastructure, a war crime, in an effort to relocate the civilian population. Is expansion of Russian empire the cause of the water war in Ukraine?
@dc7370
Fracking is happening. Graft. The water is tainted with pharmaceutical pollution also
@TS-zp7pe
Shia extremism and Sunni extremism equals water problems? Interesting..
