Euphrates Water Treaty

The Euphrates Water Treaty is an agreement among countries—primarily Turkey, Syria, and Iraq—about how they share and manage the waters of the Euphrates River. Signed to prevent conflicts, the treaty sets guidelines on water usage, construction of dams, and downstream needs to ensure fair access for all. It aims to balance development with water conservation, promoting cooperation among the nations. The treaty helps prevent disputes over water rights, which are crucial for agriculture, drinking water, and overall stability in the region.
