Tigris–Euphrates river system Tigris–Euphrates river system The Tigris and Euphrates, with their tributaries, form a major river system in Western Asia. From sources originating in eastern Turkey, they flow by/through Syria through Iraq into the Persian Gulf. The system is part of the Palearctic Tigris–Euphrates ecoregion, which includes Iraq and parts of Turkey, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. From their sources and upper courses in the mountains of eastern Anatolia, the rivers descend through valleys and gorges to the uplands of Syria and northern Iraq and then to the alluvial plain of central Iraq. The rivers flow in a south-easterly direction
Duncan River was built the river served as the main navigation route into the valley, used by mining and logging industries. The route was navigable via Kootenay Lake as far as Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, on the Kootenai River. Duncan Dam was finished in 1967, the first of the three Canadian Columbia River Treaty dams to be built. Its purpose is to regulate flow into Kootenay Lake, in coordination with Libby Dam, to assure sufficient water flow for the Kootenay Canal and Corra Linn Dam projects. Duncan Dam does not produce any electricity. Duncan Lake, originally in length, is now long. Duncan River
