Euphrates Rising Threatens Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor
Warnings in Syria about the rising water levels of the Euphrates River due to increased water releases from dams, especially as a large volume continues to flow from the Turkish side, exceeding 1,200 cubic meters per second. This could lead to rising water levels and accelerated river currents. The relevant authorities have called on residents of Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor to stay away from the riverbanks and low-lying areas, and to avoid swimming and approaching the water, particularly with predicted releases increasing to 1,000 cubic meters per second in the upcoming period. These warnings follow a previous flood in May that caused agricultural losses, as the management of the three dams along the Euphrates continues cautiously to ensure safety.
