    Any river is almost sacred. No river, no town and not much life. First thing i do in a new town is walk the river. Funny how we have a hard time living without water Love your posts Jen. Hope to see you soon. George Bell

About This Project

Collapse of the marsh ecosystems of southern Iraq after 1991 forced hundreds of thousands of people into urban slums, and led to contamination of the remaining water supply. We will establish three test beds to see whether brackish water returned from oil drilling and refining can be used to construct new salt marshes. These will filter water, provide forage for livestock, create habitat for fish nurseries, and give new economic opportunities.
Blast off!
