Khabur River region
The Khabur River region is an area in northeastern Syria and southeastern Turkey, characterized by its importance for agriculture and irrigation. The Khabur River, a tributary of the Euphrates, flows through this region, supporting farmland and local communities. Historically, it has been a vital corridor for farming, trade, and cultural exchange, with ancient civilizations like the Assyrians and Amorites establishing settlements nearby. Today, the region faces challenges such as water management, environmental stress, and conflicts, but remains a key agricultural zone with rich historical significance.
