Abstract
Tidal flow may contribute significantly in the amount of water to be considered in the restoration of wetlands, particularly when these wetlands were subjected to a drying process and there are shortages in the availability of water coming from highlands. The Mesopotamian marshes (The Iraqi Wetlands) are Al-Hammar Marsh, Al-Huwaiza Marsh, and Central Marshes (Al-Qurna).
