	Khabur River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Khabur River (Arabic: نهر الخابور; also transliterated as Habor River or Habur River) is a river that begins in southeastern Turkey and flows south to Syria, where it eventually empties into the Euphrates River.
		The region of the Khabur River is also associated with the rise of the kingdom of the Mitanni that flourished c.1500-1300 BC.
		The Khabur River project, begun in the 1960s, involved the construction of a series of dams and canals.

	Hurrians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their known homeland was centred in Subar, the Khabur River valley, and later they established themselves as rulers of small kingdoms throughout northern Mesopotamia and Syria.
		The Khabur River valley became the heart of the Hurrian lands for a millennium.
		The Khabur River Valley had a central position in the metal trade, and the copper, silver and even tin was accessible from the Hurrian-dominated countries Kizzuwatna and Ishuwa situated in the Anatolian highland.

		He kept to the far north of Mesopotamia to avoid his brother Ferhan; but finally half-sedentary tribes on the Khabur and the Belikh became tributary to him, and a more or less active warfare sprang up between the brothers, which ended in a partition of Mesopotamia.

	Settlement of the Assyrians of Iraq
		Settlement in the Khabur would make possible in the future the recovery of only a very small amount, paid chiefly in order to comply with the precedents laid down in similar cases, whereas, with settlement in the Ghab district, it would be possible to recover a large part of the sums expended.
		According to information obtained on the Khabur, a large proportion- of the Assyrians in that district are chronic sufferers from malaria, and there must be no question of creating a new centre of germ-carriers through their settlement in the plain of the Ghab.
		In view, however, of the sums entered in the budget estimates for the Ghab and the Khabur settlements in respect of equipment and agricultural material, the latter might reasonably be expected to fetch at least 1,000,000 francs.

	Mitanni - Wikipedia Light!
		The name was later used as a geographical term for the area between the Khabur and Euphrates rivers in Neo-Assyrian times.
		Mitanni is thought to have been a feudal state led by a warrior nobility of partly Indo-Aryan descent, reaching Syria at some point during the 18th or 17th century BC in the course of the Indo-Aryan migration that separated Middle Bronze Age Proto-Indo-Iranians into the Indo-Aryan and Iranian branches.
		Shattiwaza became king of Mitanni, but after Suppililiuma had taken Carchemish and the land west of the Euphrates, that were governed by his son Piyashshili, Mitanni was restricted to the Khabur and Balikh valleys, and became more and more dependant on their allies in Hatti.

		According to Syrian sources, Turkey is constructing an upstream dam on the Sajur with a reservoir capacity of 100 mcm (Syrian Ministry of Irrigation, 1999).
		The Khabur River flows across the southern fringe of the Basin.
		As a result, the Khabur had only of 30 mcm of water in 1998; this is particularly relevant when one realises that the Great Khabur Dam in Syria has a reservoir capacity of 605 mcm for the irrigation of an additional 50,000 hectares in the Khabur Basin (Syrian Ministry of Irrigation, 1999).

		Middle Bronze Age occupation was especially limited; a similar pattern of sparse occupation was noted by Lyonnet (1996) who shows that "trace" Khabur ware occupations occurred along the Khabur River, and that the area of Beydar was essentially deserted.
		Hence although the entire area was occupied in the early to mid-third millennium bc by the Khabur period only Sekar Fouqani and Hanou in the north of the area were significantly occupied.

		Fluctuations in precipitation are inferred from the presence, distribution and size of settlements over some 9000 years, and verified by proxy climate data from the region and climate models.
		These fluctuations correspond with global and regional climate and environmental changes as well as with the regional archaeological record.
