The Tigris River
The Tigris River is 1,150 miles long and begins in Turkey.
The river originates in the mountains of eastern Turkey and flows southeast into Iraq after briefly forming the extreme eastern portion of the border between Syria and Turkey.
In Iraq, it receives additional water from four important tributaries: the Greater Zab, the Lesser Zab, the Adhem and the Diyala. As a result, the Tigris is more subject to catastrophic flooding than the Euphrates. Annual flooding usually results in the Tigris rising from 4½ to 9 feet, with a record rise of 27 feet in 1954.
At Kut, the Tigris is about 1,300 feet wide and has a depth varying from a normal 4½ feet to 26 feet when flooding. The current at Kut ranges from 1¼ to as high as 4 miles per hour when flooding.
