The Shrinking Euphrates

I read this article on the NY Times website back in July, basically the article is explaining that during recent years, parts of the Euphrates has began to dry up and continues to do so.
“Strangled by the water policies of its neighbors, Turkey and Syria, a two-year drought and years of misuse by Iraq and its farmers, the Euphrates River is significantly smaller than it was just a few years ago, and some officials worry that it could soon be half of what it is now.”
