To the Land of Sinbad

THE HOUSE OF SINBAD THE SAILOR, BASRA," c. 1920. From A Dweller in Mesopotamia, by Donald Maxwell

Artistic licence has foreshortened the view, but the bellam prow in the foreground rests in almost the same spot as the one I posted to Lab Note "Almost Halfway There." Our thanks to Thomas Sparrow for helping is go the distance.

About This Project

Collapse of the marsh ecosystems of southern Iraq after 1991 forced hundreds of thousands of people into urban slums, and led to contamination of the remaining water supply. We will establish three test beds to see whether brackish water returned from oil drilling and refining can be used to construct new salt marshes. These will filter water, provide forage for livestock, create habitat for fish nurseries, and give new economic opportunities.
Blast off!
