Eastern Syria Readies for Euphrates Water Rise
The article discusses the rising water levels of the Euphrates River in Syria, which has reached 70 centimeters, with an expectation of continued increase over the next 24 hours due to large inflows from the Turkish side, amounting to 1,200 cubic meters per second. The Syrian side is relying on local dams to accommodate the rise, while taking precautionary measures and advising residents to stay away from the river and exercise caution. The surge in water inflow is attributed to heavy rains and spring runoff caused by intense rainfall in Turkey, as well as the flow from the Atatürk Dam, which has filled to over 90%, one of the highest levels in recent decades, leading to its gates being opened for the first time in seven years. These increases follow a widespread flood wave that occurred last May, damaging thousands of areas and farms, though no direct human casualties were reported.
