The Murghab River is a significant waterway located in Central Asia, primarily flowing through Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. It originates in the Pamir Mountains and travels approximately 250 kilometers before emptying into the Karakum Desert. The river plays a crucial role in the region's agriculture and irrigation. The Murghab River is known for its seasonal flow, which varies depending on the melting of snow in the mountains. It supports local ecosystems and provides water for farming communities along its banks. The river's basin is vital for sustaining livelihoods in an otherwise arid landscape.
