Euphrates Basin

The Euphrates Basin is the area of land drained by the Euphrates River and its tributaries, covering parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and smaller regions. This basin is vital for agriculture, water supply, and ecosystem health in the region. It supports millions of people, providing water for drinking, farming, and industry. The basin's natural flow is influenced by rainfall and snowmelt, but it also faces challenges like water overuse, dam construction, and pollution, which impact its sustainability and the communities dependent on it.
