=Flooding And Monsoons In Iraq=

There has been and are flooding problems in Iraq. Sometimes it isn't too bad but sometimes it's extreme! There have been heavy rains in northern Iraq and causing rivers to overflow, and also in Northern Iraq the ice on the top of the mountains were melting and forcing over 7,000 families around there to have to move away. Flooding is usally because of the mountains around there which lead up to the Tigris and Euphrates river, but they flood for good reasons.

The insident in 2/8/2006 people were forced to move from ther ehomes and take only belongings that they could carry. There was major distruction during that flood! Most of thoes people were left homeless!

The prone to springtime flooding, the Tigris River has once again spilled over the banks into central Iraq. The cause of these floods starts as the Tigris's falt but is helped by heavy rain fall.

Response
From then till now there has been no major floods like those.
