[edit]The term Ghouta seems to have changed meaning of the course of its use and it is now sometimes unclear what it means. Obviously, this article needs sources, so I will try to find some and place them here for discussion and use improving the article. Mnnlaxer (talk) 16:22, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Crops
- Plum, poplar, and walnut trees, and cotton as well as maize, alfalfa, green barley, and green wheat.
Resources and hazards
- This area includes a large variety of environmental problems, including water scarcity due to the extremely small annual precipitation. Water is so scarce there that there has been a rapid decline of the groundwater level in large parts of the Ghouta. Also, there has been a large increase in pollutants from Damascus' traffic, industry, waste, and sewage, which have pathways to the Ghouta. In fact, the future of the water supply for the Syrian capital depends on the environmental situation of this area.
