In the country where it rises, it is known as the Fırat. Formed by the confluence of the Kara and the Murat, it passes through Birecik and Dayr az- Zawr in its upper course. Tributaries include the Kabuhr and the Bhalik, though it receives almost no water for the lower half of its course. It is dammed by the Tabaqah dam, and upstream is the Ataturk reservoir, whose construction and attendant restriction of flow caused great alarm in Syria, through which the river passes. On its lower course it passes through Nasiriyah and Fallujah before emptying into the Shatt al-Arab at Al-Qurnah. FTP name this river of the Middle East, one of the two major rivers of Mesopotamia, along with the Tigris.
