The Middle East is home to several significant freshwater bodies, including the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which flow through Iraq and provide crucial water resources for the region. Other notable freshwater sources include the Jordan River, which runs along the border between Israel and Jordan, and the Nile River in Egypt, although it primarily serves the northeastern region of Africa. Additionally, various lakes such as Lake Tiberias (Sea of Galilee) and smaller reservoirs contribute to the freshwater supply. Groundwater aquifers, such as the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System, also play a vital role in the region's water resources.
