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?

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.

Thanks for the info! Truly the potential to be a wonderful country.
