The rivers are drying up while the neighboring governments continue to ignore our pleas for action. Do not wait for someone else to stop this destruction. Email your local representatives today and demand they pressure the governments of Turkey, Iran, and Syria to restore our water flow.

Iraq needs its water back. stop wasting our resources. its not fair to the people living downstream.
Thinking of the people in Iraq. water is a human right. stop the dams.
The rivers are the lifeblood of our country. My grandfather used to swim in the Tigris every summer. We cannot just sit by and watch them turn into dust.
SHAME ON TURKEY AND IRAN. greedy neighbors destroying our history and our future. save the rivers!!!
heartbroken. these rivers have been here for thousands of years. do not let them disappear because of politics.
