Abstract: Marshes are important geomorphological and hydrological features that have unique geographical features in Iraq, due to their vast area, multiple locations, and the diversity of their picturesque nature in terms of aquatic and terrestrial life. Perhaps they have no counterpart in other countries of the world. Historically, the marshes were known (as marshes, which were mentioned in cuneiform writings in different terms), meaning the place where the water stream flattens out due to its flatness. A large area of the alluvial plain extending between the south of Kufa and Wasit, passing through Maysan to Basra, was submerged by the flood waters of the Tigris and Euphrates when its banks broke as a result of high floods and the diversion of its courses in the year 628-629 AD. 1
