Euphrates River

Euphrates River is one of the most important rivers in Western Asia, running through Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. It has been a water supply and trade route since ancient times and nourished the rise of early civilizations like Mesopotamia. The historical and cultural evolution of the area has been forged in this river basin, and agriculture depends on it.

 Even though the current dam construction has an impact on its flow, the river remains an important geographic and economic resource.
