Abstract

The papers deals with hidrography of the Upper Jazirah region in north-eastern Syria, particularly with the changes in the mean and annual runoff of the Khabour River and its tributaries in 1943-2001 period. The upper part of the Khabour catchment area is an important Syrian cotton and wheat production area. The use of ground-water and river-water in agriculture, especially since 1970’s lead to significant lowering of the annual runoff of the Khabour and other rivers in the area.
