Al Diwaniyah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al Diwaniyah (Arabic: الديوانية; BGN: Ad Dīwānīyah; also spelled Diwaniya) is the capital city of Iraq's Al Qadisiyah province. In 2002, its population was estimated at 420,000. The area around Al Diwaniyah, which is well irrigated from the nearby Euphrates river, is often considered to be one on the most fertile parts of Iraq, and is heavily cultivated. The town is located on the main rail transport corridor between Baghdad and Basra.
From a birdwatcher's view, Diwaniya is a city with a rich bird list. This was resulted from the wide range of biodiversity that the city has. Al Qadisiyah consists vast agricultural areas, wetlands, arid, as well as semidesert areas.
