Tigris and Euphrates Rivers

The Tigris and Euphrates are two significant rivers in the Middle East, flowing mainly through Iraq. They are crucial to the region's history and agriculture, forming part of the "Fertile Crescent," where some of the world's earliest civilizations emerged. These rivers provide water for irrigation, supporting agriculture in otherwise arid areas. They also play a vital role in the local ecosystem. Today, their water resources face challenges from damming, pollution, and climate change, impacting millions who rely on them for their livelihoods and sustenance.
