As the Middle East braces for another year of extreme heat,
climate change is turning the soil to dust in the landscape that
has long been known as the fertile crescent — and water has
become a new source of conflict.

Alissa J. Rubin, who covers the Middle East, tells the story of
Iraq’s water crisis and what it means for the world.

Guest: Alissa J. Rubin, a senior Middle East
correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading:
