The largest river in southwest Asia. The Euphrates River is about 2800 kilometers long. The Euphrates River is a famous river in the Middle East. Together with the Tigris River to the east, it defines Mesopotamia. The Arabian River, the source of water in the eastern estuary of Turkey, flows through Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq, with a total length of 2,800 kilometers. The water source is 4500m above sea level, with an average flow of 818m3/sec. The river basin is 765,836,5438+0 km&; Sup2 According to the topography, the Euphrates River can be divided into three sections:
The upper reaches of the Euphrates River (1) start from two main tributaries: the Calassou River in the north and the Murat River in the east. These two rivers originate from the Armenian plateau, with wide and narrow valleys and deep canyons, and meet about 50 kilometers west of the town of Elaze. The Euphrates River itself, which flows from the plateau, continues to meander between the mountains of taurus mountains in southern Turkey with great twists and turns, and flows to the village of Samsat in Turkey on the Syrian plateau, and the water level drops by nearly 300 meters.
② The middle reaches of the Euphrates River, from Samsat, Turkey, hit the Iraqi lowlands on the Syrian plateau, with a total length of nearly 65,438+0,500 kilometers. The valley is a typical steep slope, hundreds of feet deep, and the floodplain is 3-6 kilometers wide. In the middle reaches, the main tributaries of the Euphrates River, including the Chapur River, meet in the main stream.
(3) The lower reaches of the Euphrates River, which flows out from the deep valley of the Syrian plateau and appears in Hitt, widens on the Iraqi plain, reduces the flow and slows down the flow rate. The climate in this area is dry, and the river water is greatly lost due to evaporation and irrigation on the river surface and floodplain. There is a large area of sediment deposited on the delta plain, which has poor drainage and a large number of braided flows. The formation of swamps and permanent shallow lakes absorbs a considerable flow of the Euphrates River and makes it change with the seasons. From Hitt to Al-Musayyib in Mu Sai, it is a single river. The Euphrates River in Fallujah between the two places is far from the Tigris River and has been supported by cities like Baghdad since ancient times. The river divides into two branches below Museib. One is Al-Hillah in the east, which was the former main channel; The other is the Al-Hindiyah River in the west, which is now the main river. These two tributaries merge into a single river near As-Samawah, which is 175km away from its source and extends to An-Nasiriyah. Here, the Euphrates River divides into many waterways, extending to the beach and Lake Hamar, and joins the Tigris River at the eastern end of the lake. From here, the Arabian River formed by the confluence of two rivers flows through 193 km and flows into the Persian Gulf. It originated from the interior of Jinniu Mountain in the Anatolian Plateau in eastern Turkey. The source of this river is called the Calassou River, which flows westward to the north of the bank, joins the Mula River, and is then called the Euphrates River. Then it winds south, enters Syria in the south of Pirajik, turns southeast near Meskney, accepts tributaries such as Bailey River and Habur River along the way, enters Iraq, flows into the plain near Hitt, and then flows into the tributaries of the river. It flows to the vicinity of Hindia and is divided into two tributaries, the east tributary is called Sheila River and the west tributary is called Hindia River. Hindiyah Dam is built at the branch of two rivers, which controls the water quantity of the two rivers and forms an important irrigated agricultural area in Iraq. The two rivers meet near Semavo, continue to flow southeast, meet with Tigris River near Gournay, renamed Arabian River, and enter the Persian Gulf near Fao.
Heyuan to Semavo, the river is 2750 kilometers long and the drainage area is 67.3 square kilometers. It is mainly replenished by mountain snow melting and mountain rainfall, and the water quantity is relatively rich. However, due to evaporation, leakage and large amount of irrigation along the way, the flow to the middle and lower reaches has dropped sharply. After the Euphrates River entered the plain near Hitt, Iraq, an important irrigated agricultural area in Iraq was formed along the river, and it was divided into two tributaries from Museb to Semavo. The northern branch, also known as the Sheila River, is about190km long and flows through the city of Sheila. The southern tributary, also known as the Hindia River, is about 265,438+00 kilometers long and flows through the city of Hindia. From Hitt to Kurna, the flow on the plain is about 700 kilometers. Steamboats can be reached below Hitt, with a voyage of nearly 900 kilometers. In the Bible, the Euphrates River is called the Euphrates River. The earliest mention of the Euphrates River in the Bible is in the second chapter of Genesis. After the Bison River, the Kixun River and the Tigris River. According to the revelation of the Bible, when the end of the world comes, the Euphrates River will dry up to prepare for Hamigidom.
The Euphrates River in the Bible
In the Bible, the Euphrates River is called the Euphrates River. The earliest mention of the Euphrates River in the Bible is in the second chapter of Genesis-it is the fourth river flowing out of the Garden of Eden after Bison, Gihon and Tigris. The Euphrates River is also one of the boundaries of the land (Canaan) that God promised to Abraham and his descendants.
According to the revelation of the Bible, when the world ends, the Euphrates River will dry up to prepare for the end of the world. On the banks of the Euphrates River
Va, pensiero, sull 'ale dorate fly, miss, and ride on golden wings;
Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli, fly, the slopes and hills of king's landing,
Ove olezzano tepide e molli is right there, tender, warm and sweet.
I love you, Solo Natal! It's the smell of the land in our hometown!
Greetings to both sides of the Jordan River,
Hello, Tory Atrat ... and the collapsed tower in Zion. ...
Oh, my motherland? Bella and Petuta! Ah, my motherland is so lovely and charming!
Oh, this is fatal! Ah, what kind and desperate memories!
Alpa Dole de Fatidic Vatti, the yellow harp of the Prophet,
perche muta dal salice pendi？ Why do you hang on a willow branch and keep silent?
Lememory Nelpetto Raccedi, rekindle the memory in your chest,
My life is very fast! Tell me about the past days!
Oh, don't forget the fate of Jerusalem.
Traggi unsono di crudo lamento, sighing sadly,
Or let God bring it to us.
Don't you know what I'm doing? Endure our pain?
