Central Marshes
The
Central
or
Qurna Marshes
were a large complex of
wetlands
in
Iraq
that were part of the
Tigris-Euphrates river system
, along with the
Hawizeh
and
Hammar
Marshes. Formerly covering an area of around 3000 square kilometres, they were
almost completely drained
following the
1991 uprisings in Iraq
and have in recent years been reflooded.
