  The original settlement may have been on a small island in the Little Khabur river, which flows through the modern city. The Khabur flows west from Zakho to form the border between Iraq and Turkey, continuing into the Tigris. The most important rivers in the area are the Zeriza, Seerkotik and the aforementioned Little Khabur.
  In July 2010, Zakho became the seat of the University of Zakho, one of only eleven public universities in the Kurdistan Region.
