Sajur

The Sajur River (Arabic: نهر الساجور [næhr æs sæːˈd͡ʒuːr], Turkish: Sayur Çayı) is a 108-kilometer-long (67-mile-long) river that originates in Turkey and flows into the Euphrates in Syria. It is the smallest of the three rivers that enter the Euphrates in Syria, and the only one that does so on the right bank. The occupation of the Sajur basin began in the Lower Palaeolithic epoch and continues to this day.

It is supplied by two streams that come together south of Gaziantep. The Sajur then flows southeast till it reaches the Syria–Turkey border. The river then flows about eastward till it joins the Euphrates on its right bank, in the region inundated by the Tishrin Dam reservoir. In Syria, the river carves a valley through the Manbij Plain that is 20 to 100 meters (66 to 328 feet) below the plain's surface and up to 500 meters (1,600 feet) broad. The average discharge rate is 4.1 cubic meters (140 cubic feet) per second. Maximum discharge is 7 cubic metres (250 cu ft) per second in February and March, while minimum discharge is 1.4 cubic metres (49 cu ft) per second from June to October. The yearly discharge average is 0.14 cubic kilometers (0.03 cu mi). The Sajur is the smallest of the three rivers that enter the Euphrates on Syrian land, both in length and discharge. The other two are the Balikh and the Khabur. The Sajur is also Syria's sole river that joins the Euphrates on the right side; both the Balikh and the Khabur arrive on the left bank.
