The Iraqi Marshes have gone through considerable change in the past 40 years. March represents the time just before the spring floods arrive - so it represents the low water mark for the year. Recent changes have shown a drying in the Hawizeh Marsh (North East Marsh) and the area of the Marshes have remained between 2,100 - 2,800 km2. Major drought years were in 2008 and to a lesser extent 2010 and trends in water flow to the Marshes is steadily decreasing.
