One of the least talked about successes in the war in Iraq is the restoration of the Mesopotamian Marshes. Here two men pole a mashoof, a traditional wooden boat, through the Al-Hawijeh marsh. The people of the marshes are the Ma'dan (Marsh Arabs).
The Ma'dan of Southern Iraq live a lifestyle dating back 5,000 years. The US Army Corps of Engineers played an important role in advising the Iraqi Ministry of Water Resources, (MOWR) as they work to restore the Marshes destroyed by Saddam Hussein after Desert Storm.
