ABSTRACT

Section 3 comprises six chapters that deal with innovative approaches and technologies to promote sustainable living in association with the restorative redevelopment of the Iraqi marshlands and other landscapes devastated by conict or natural disasters. Together, these chapters describe means to ensure that residents can move about, treat their sanitary efuent, and husband their farms in ways that will not be deleterious to the restored environment. The most important lesson from these chapters is the understanding that the marshlands are very much living landscapes that have been and hopefully will be inhabited by thousands of people going about their daily lives amidst the wonderful nature.
