Salmo fahrettini, a new species, is distributed in the northern tributaries of the Euphrates River. It differs from other Salmo species in adjacent waters by a combination of the following characters: a greyish body; one black spot behind the eye and on the cheek; three to six black spots on the opercle; numerous black spots on the back (missing on the predorsal area), flank and middle part of body, surrounded by a roundish white ring; red spots in the median part of the body, surrounded by a roundish white ring; short and narrow maxilla; increase in the number of black and red spots with an increase in size; adipose fin medium size, no or rarely one red spot at its posterior edge; 109-116 lateral line scales; 27-30 scale rows between dorsal-fin origin and lateral line; 20-23 scale rows between the lateral line and anal-fin origin; maxilla length 8.8-10.0% standard length in males, 8.8-9.6 in females.

The main contributor to Türkiye's abundant freshwater fish biodiversity is its geographic location. This fauna consists of endemic, native, and non-native fish species. The introduction of Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859 to Lake Amik in the 1920s for the biological control of malaria was the first introduction of nonnative species to Türkiye.

Pollution monitoring in surface water using field observational procedure is a challenging matter as it is time consuming, and needs a lot of efforts. This study addresses the challenge of efficiently monitoring and predicting water pollution using a GIS-based artificial neural network (ANN) to detect heavy metal (HM) pollution in surface water and effect of wastewater required discharge on the Euphrates River in Al-Diwaniyah City, Iraq. The study established using 40 water sampling stations and incorporates Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) to assess HM levels.

The Euphrates Softshell Turtle () is an endangered freshwater turtle native to the Tigris-Euphrates river system. Habitat destruction caused by dams and sand mining poses a major threat to the species. This study quantitatively assesses the occurrence of sandy areas in the upper Tigris in Turkey as a key component of their nesting habitat, utilizing remote sensing data.

Article Synopsis
- Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt have been in dispute since 2011 over Ethiopia's construction of the Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile, with Egypt and Sudan contesting Ethiopia's rights to the Nile's water.
- The article emphasizes the importance of the 1997 UN Water Convention, which provides criteria for equitable use of shared water resources and serves as a framework for negotiations.
- Ethiopia, which contributes a significant portion of the Nile's water, faces challenges from Egypt and Sudan despite having the majority of the rivers' flow and hydropower potential, highlighting the need for flexible negotiations for fair water access among the three countries.
Forecasting for Haditha reservoir inflow in the West of Iraq using Support Vector Machine (SVM).

Accurate inflow forecasting is an essential non-engineering strategy to guarantee flood management and boost the effectiveness of the water supply. As inflow is the primary reservoir input, precise inflow forecasting may also offer appropriate reservoir design and management assistance. This study aims to generalize the machine learning model using the support vector machine (SVM), which is support vector regression (SVR), to predict the discharges of the Euphrates River upstream of the Haditha Dam reservoir in Anbar province West of Iraq.
