the tigris-euphrates river basin consists of its two primary rivers – the tigris river and the euphrates river – and their minor tributaries. both the tigris and the euphrates originate in southeastern turkey. the tigris flows from turkey, tracing the border between turkey and syria for 32 km before flowing south through iraq. from its origin in turkey, the euphrates flows into syria from the north, before continuing on through iraq. the two rivers meet in iraq to form the shatt al-arab, which flows south into the persian gulf.
