The Tigris river is pictured in central Baghdad on May 4, 2026. The Tigris' water levels have risen due to the rains and floods that have swept across Iraq this winter after years of drought caused by low rainfall. Iraq's water ministry said the reservoirs along the river are almost full, adding that it expects water levels in the Euphrates to rise in the coming days if Syria releases water from its dams.
