=== Tributaries ===

In Syria, three rivers add their water to the Euphrates; the [[Sajur River|Sajur]], the [[Balikh River|Balikh]] and the [[Khabur (Euphrates)|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 [[Karst topography|karstic]] spring near 'Ayn al-'Arus and flows due south until it reaches the Euphrates at the city of [[Raqqa]]. In terms of length, drainage basin and discharge, the Khabur is the largest of these three. Its main karstic springs are located around [[Ras al-Ayn, al-Hasakah|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.<ref name=hillel95>{{harvnb|Hillel|1994|p=95}}</ref><ref name=holezaitchik>{{harvnb|Hole|Zaitchik|2007}}</ref>
