When it comes to examining the impact of physical geography on the approaching war, the old name tells us more than the current one. Mesopotamia is Greek for the region "between the rivers" — the Tigris and Euphrates. While the western half of Iraq is desert, the hydro-geography created by these two rivers will have a great impact on the ground component of a war with Iraq. Both rivers essentially flow through Iraq from northwest to southwest. The Euphrates, the southernmost of the two, originates in Syria, and crosses into Iraq at al Saybah. It passes about 20 miles southwest of Baghdad and then flows into the Shatt al Arab, which then empties into the upper Persian Gulf. The Tigris originates in the mountains along the Turkish border, flows south through Mosul and Tikrit and on to Baghdad, where it bisects the city, then southeast to al Kut and Al Amarah. It continues southeast to Basrah and empties into the Shatt al Arab.

Arabic is the official language in most of the country; Kurdish is official in northern sections; Assyrian and Armenian are spoken by some. History Modern Iraq is approximately coextensive with ancient Mesopotamia, and prior to the Arab conquest in the 7th cent. AD it was the site of a number of flourishing civilizations, including Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, and Babylonia. In the 8th cent., as capital of the Abbasid caliphate, Baghdad became an important center of learning and the arts. Mesopotamia fell to the Ottoman Turks in the 16th cent. The British invaded Iraq in World War I, and in 1920 the country became a League of Nations mandate under British administration. Iraq was made a kingdom under Faisal I in 1921, and the British mandate was terminated in 1932, although British military bases remained. Meanwhile, the first oil concession had been granted in 1925, and in 1934 the export of oil began. Domestic politics were marked by turbulence, and the country experienced seven military coups between 1936 and 1941. Following an army coup in 1958, Iraq became a republic under Gen. Abdul Karim Kassem. The chronic Kurdish problem flared up in 1962, when tribes demanding an autonomous Kurdistan gained control of much of N Iraq. The rebellion collapsed (1975), but intermittent warfare continued. In 1968 a coup brought the Ba'ath party to power, and in 1979 Saddam Hussein became party leader and Iraq's president. Opposition within Iraq grew among the Shiites, who were the majority of the population yet were excluded from political control.

Worldwide applications of PV technology occur in nations aware of the advantages of appropriate energy sources and where fossil fuel use is declining or was never in use. Government and non-government agencies must work together to increase the use of PV cells in areas where they can provide enough electricity for desired applications. From roof modules in the UK (not exactly known for its sunny weather) to programs providing water and light in the periphery solar cells are becoming an integrated and common place power source worldwide.

The Geography and Geology of Iraq With the war going on in Iraq much attention is focused on this little country, its lands and its people. To understand something about the geography and geology of the country is to better understand what troops are up against, and indeed what the people of Iraq themselves are sometimes against. There are four main regions to the geography of Iraq. There is the desert in the west and southwest, the rolling upland between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, highlands in the north and northeast and the alluvial plain through which the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow. Total land area is about 438,446 square kilometers. The desert region west and southwest of the Euphrates is part of the Syrian desert which runs west into Syria and south into Saudi Arabia. Here and there on this sparse wasteland is a pattern of waterways, dry all year except for the brief floods during the winter rains. Few people live on this desert except for some pastoral nomads. The uplands region running between an area north of the Tigris and Euphrates is called Al Jazirah, the Island. It is actually part of a larger area which extends westward into Syria and Turkey. Although there is more water in this area, running in deep cut valleys, it is still dry enough to be considered a desert. Iraq's northeastern area is highlands which extend to the Turkey and Iranian borders. The area begins as broad steppes and blends into mountains ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 meters. Except for a few valleys, the only useable area is some of the foothills and steppes used for grazing. Soil and rainfall conditions make some agriculture possible. This area is also home to oilfields and the Kurds.

Since 1958 it has been controlled by the military, the latest being Saddam Hussein.

Elevations of about 2,100 m (about 7,000 ft) above sea level are reached near the Turkish border; in the northeastern part of the country there are peaks ranging to 3,600 m (11,811 ft) atop Mount Ebrâhîm (Kûh-e âjî Ebrâhîm). Farther south the country slopes downward to form a broad, central alluvial plain, which encompasses the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The extreme southeastern portion of Iraq is a low-lying, marshy area adjacent to the Persian Gulf, on which Iraq fronts for a distance of about 40 km (about 25 mi). West of the Euphrates, the land rises gradually to meet the Syrian Desert. Present-day Iraq occupies the greater part of the ancient land of Mesopotamia, the plain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The two rivers flow through Iraq from northwest to southeast. They meet about 160 km (about 100 mi) north of the Persian Gulf to form the Shatt al Arab, which drains into the gulf. The chief tributaries of the Tigris are the Great Zab, the Little Zab, and the Diyâl rivers. Level terrain separates the Tigris and the Euphrates in their lower courses. In ancient times the two rivers were joined by a network of canals and irrigation ditches, which directed the water of the higher-lying and more westerly Euphrates across the valley into the Tigris.
