Data sources

Basin outline: HydroBASINS v1c, level 6 (HydroSHEDS; Lehner and Grill, 2013). The Euphrates basin is the set of sub-basins that drain to the Euphrates / Tigris junction at Qurna (about 552,000 km²); the Tigris basin is shown for context.
Rivers and lakes of the basin, upstream Euphrates: RIMES shapefiles supplied for the project. Publisher, date and licence are to be confirmed.

Hillah River System, canals, drains, irrigation projects, governorates, monitoring stations and MOD points: CWRM project data (Ministry of Water Resources and GIZ) and the monitoring network design V01 (2026-08-17). Station photographs from the design document.
Cities: OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Countries: Natural Earth (public domain).
Technology images: illustrative only; source and licence to be confirmed.
Statistics: network lengths (2,978 km irrigation, 5,392 km drainage) from the CWRM master GeoPackage (study extent); the 25 km coverage radius is a working assumption, not a design criterion.
