The Mesopotamian marshlands are part of the Tigris-Euphrates river system. This report examines the desiccation of the area over the last three decades, which has led to the disappearance of one of the world's greatest wetlands and the largest such ecosystem in southwest Asia. The basin's ecology has been drastically transformed due to the construction of more than thirty large dams, as well as associated drainage schemes. The report considers the devastating impact of these projects upon the area's landscape, hydrology and wildlife, as well as upon the livelihoods of the indigenous people. Recommendations are made which aim to promote basin-wide co-operation and to mitigate the impact of dams in the upper basin. The report finds that a long-term rehabilitation strategy for the restoration of the marshlands should strive for at least partial reflooding of the delta, whilst priority needs to be given to the conservation of remaining transboundary marshes straddling the Iran-Iraq border.
