Detailed explanation-1: -An important source of both travel and irrigation, the Tigris also has a rich history that dates back to the earliest known civilizations because of its importance to a largely arid region. Originating in Lake Hazer in Turkey-a region characterized by high mountains-the river flows parallel with the Euphrates River.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water use in the Euphrates Basin in Iraq, Syria and Turkey focuses on irrigation, hydropower and drinking water supply, with agriculture consuming the largest share of water (more than 70%).
Detailed explanation-3: -The river rises in Turkey and flows southeast across Syria and through Iraq. Formed by the confluence of the Karasu and Murat rivers in the Armenian Highland, the Euphrates descends between major ranges of the Taurus Mountains to the Syrian plateau.
Detailed explanation-4: -Finally, the Euphrates and Tigris join and flow as the Shatt al-Arab to the Persian Gulf.
