U članku se razmatraju hidrogeografske prilike i promjene u godišnjim protocima Habura i njegovih pritoka u području Gornje Đezire u sjeveroistočnoj Siriji prema podatcima iz razdoblja 1943.-2001. Istraživano područje žitnica je Sirije. Veliki zahvati u podzemne i površinske vodne resurse počeli su 1970-ih, uglavnom radi natapanja, i doveli su do značajnih smanjenja godišnjih protoka u istraživanom području.The papers deals with hidrography of the Upper Jazirah region in north-eastern Syria, particularly with the changes in the mean and annual runoff of the Khabour River and its tributaries in 1943-2001 period. The upper part of the Khabour catchment area is an important Syrian cotton and wheat production area. The use of ground-water and river-water in agriculture, especially since 1970’s lead to significant lowering of the annual runoff of the Khabour and other rivers in the area
