Summary: From "Drying Up," June 26, 2009. War News Radio reports on the severe drought that's taking water from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Iraq.
In Iraq, the water troubles haven't been so terrible since the 70's and 90's. Even the Iraqi's know how important water is. If we can't access water, how can we survive? 80% of the world is covered in water, and although 97% is salt water, if we lose it all, we can't live on Earth. The droughts don't make life any easier and getting a little help from neighboring countries like Turkey and Syria would help Iraq out a lot. This piece was made very well. It had a lot of facts and informational interviews with the Iraqi's, which made the piece interesting. I would suggest some music in the background, however, so listeners will really tune in
