Tigris-Euphrates river system

The Tigris-Euphrates river system is a vital network of rivers in the Middle East, primarily flowing through Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. These rivers originate in the mountains and converge to create fertile plains that supported ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia. Their waters are crucial for agriculture, drinking water, and industry. The region has historically depended on these rivers for sustenance and development. Today, issues like dam construction, water sharing disputes, and climate change threaten their flow and the ecosystems they support, making sustainable management essential for the region's prosperity.
