Basra sits on the Shatt Al-Arab waterway formed by the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers which flow into the Gulf. Today, the salt water from the sea has taken over and now reaches 300 kilometres upriver. Waste water produced by Iraq, a country of 38 million people, is also poisoning the Tigris and Euphrates.
