Which statement BEST describes how over-irrigation in Syria leads to conflicts over water with Iraq?

• would cause Iraq to build bigger dams to store more water in Iraq

• would prevent crops from growing. This would create a dependence on foreign crops from Iraq to feed people in Syria.

• would lead to a shortage of water in Iraq. This might lead to other problems such as food shortages and access to clean drinking water.

• would create an abundance of crops to export, leading to an increase in trade goods by Syria, putting Iraq at an economic disadvantage.

• because fewer people are living in the region than there were fifty years ago.

• because of political disputes; each country blames one another for the problems.

• because the area has a lot of rainfall, so they don't worry about the rivers and lakes.

• because people in Southwest Asia use too much water for things like washing clothes.
