*/ Euphrates View of the Murat RiverIn Syria, three rivers add
their water to the Euphrates; the Sajur, the Balikh and the Khabur.
These rivers rise in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains along
the Syro-Turkish border and add comparatively little water to the
Euphrates. The Sajur is the smallest of these tributaries; emerging
from two streams near Gaziantep and draining the plain around
Manbij before emptying into the reservoir of the Tishrin Dam. The
Balikh receives most of its water from a karstic spring near
'Ayn al-'Arus and flows due south until it reaches the
Euphrates at the city of Ar-Raqqah. In terms of length, drainage
basin and discharge, the Khabur is the largest of these three. Its
main karstic springs are located around Ra's al-'Ayn, from
where the Khabur flows southeast past Al-Hasakah, where the river
turns south and drains into the Euphrates near Busayrah. Once the
Euphrates enters Iraq, there are no more natural tributaries to the
Euphrates, although canals connecting the Euphrates basin with the
Tigris basin exist. French map from the 17th century showing the
Euphrates and the Tigris The drainage basins of the Kara Su and the
Murat River cover an area of 22,000 square kilometres (8,500 sq mi)
and 40,000 square kilometres (15,000 sq mi), respectively. The
estimates that have been made for the area of the Euphrates
drainage basin vary widely; from a low 233,000 square kilometres
(90,000 sq mi) to a high 766,000 square kilometres (296,000 sq mi).
Recent estimates put the basin area at 388,000 square kilometres
(150,000 sq mi), 444,000 square kilometres (171,000 sq mi) and
579,314 square kilometres (223,674 sq mi). The greater part of the
Euphrates basin is located in Turkey, Syria and Iraq. According to
both Daoudy and Frenken, Turkey
