Main Content

The increasing use of center-pivot irrigation matches the population growth of the city of Tubarjal. The city expands spatially in these images, and its current population is over 40,000. The 2013 and 2016 images show that more highways and roads have been built to accommodate this growth. The highway that runs toward the northwest leads to the smaller town of Al’Isawiyah.
