Great tagline! I wondered what your humidity might be close to the River, but if there has been no rain for six months do you still have a river, or does it exist only on maps? Where does your water come from?
Wonderful to have Freepers almost everywhere. Praying for your safety.
There are two rivers in Iraq and both flow all year long. I live right on the banks of the Tigris. The water table in Iraq is only about 4 feet below the surface in some places - there's LOTS or water underground here. That fact makes Iraq different from just about all the other Middle Eastern countries.
