Iraq lies in a region that is called the Dry World. The region is a vast desert that stretches across North Africa and reaches on into central Asia. But most of the people live in a region near water— in the broad Tigris-Euphrates basin. This is an area of the world where water is almost always at a premium, where peasants often
struggle to make soil and moisture yield a small harvest, and where in the future water may be a greater source of conflict than oil.
