The Karakum Desert, primarily located in Turkmenistan, receives water from several rivers, most notably the Amu Darya. This river flows into the desert but is heavily diverted for irrigation purposes, significantly reducing its water flow. Additionally, the desert experiences occasional rainfall and runoff from nearby mountains, but these sources are limited. Overall, the desert is characterized by its arid conditions and sparse water availability.
The Karakum desert is in the continent of Asia, in the country of Turkmenistan.
