Winter floods and summer drouths are farming hazards. Even the largest river, the Simeto curling southeast around Mt. Etna across the Catania plain, cannot be counted on for yearround, navigation. The Anapo, considered remarkable because it usually survives the summer with enough water for rowboats, is also an oddity for its marshes of papyrus, the grass that in Egypt g<ive men paper and paper's name. Papyrus grows wild nowhere else in Europe. Sicily's yearly thirst has been blamed for the island's poverty and attendant evils, such as brigandage and the outlaw gangs of the secret Mafia organization, aa well as the" hoayy emigration.
