context: The Euphrates is one of the large rivers in southwest Asia and the largest river in the Arab plate. The river originates from Taurus Mountains in Turkey and consists of two rivers in Asia Minor, namely Murad Sow (meaning water intended) east, and its source between Lake One and Mount Ararat in Armenia, and Sow (meaning black water) is to the west and its source is in the northeast of Anatolia. And the two rivers run to the west, then meet, and their waters run south through the southern Taurus mountain range. Then the river runs to the southeast, and many branches join it before it passes in the Syrian lands to run in the Iraqi lands and meet the Tigris River in the Karmat Ali region, to be the Shatt al-Arab that flows into the Persian Gulf. One of its characteristics is that it and the Nile are considered the most prolific rivers in the Arab world. The Euphrates River enters the Syrian lands at the city of Jarablus, and in Syria it is joined by the Balikh River, then the Al-Khabour River, then it passes through the Al-Raqqa Governorate, and then goes to Deir Al-Zour Governorate, and exits from it at the city of Albukamal. And he enters Iraq’s lands at the city of Al-Qa’im in Anbar Governorate, to enter then the province of Babel, and from it branch off the Shatt Al-Hillah, then he enters the Euphrates River to Karbala Governorate, then to the province of Najaf and Diwaniyah province, then the province of Muthanna and then the province of Dhi Qar to expand to form the marshes, and unite with him in Iraq the Tigris River to form the Shatt al-Arab Whose waters run 90 miles (120 km) to flow into the Persian Gulf. The length of the Euphrates River from its source in Turkey to its estuary in the Shatt al-Arab in Iraq is about 2940 km, including 1176 km in Turkey, 610 km in Syria [1] and 1160 km in Iraq, and its width ranges between 200 to more than 2000 meters at the estuary. Iraq is called Mesopotamia because of the presence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
