Euphrates Delta

The Euphrates Delta is where the Euphrates River splits into multiple channels as it approaches the Persian Gulf, creating a lush, fertile area known as a delta. This region is characterized by wetlands, marshes, and small islands that support diverse plant and animal life. Historically, it has been an important agricultural and settlement zone due to its rich soils and reliable water source. The delta's environment is vital for local ecosystems and has played a significant role in the civilizations that have thrived there over centuries.
