Vakhsh River
The Vakhsh River is a significant waterway located in Tajikistan. It originates from the Pamir Mountains and flows through the Vakhsh Valley, eventually merging with the Amu Darya River. The river is approximately 200 kilometers long and plays a crucial role in the region's agriculture and irrigation.
The Vakhsh River is also known for its hydroelectric potential, with several dams constructed along its course. One of the most notable is the Nurek Dam, which is one of the tallest earth-fill dams in the world. The river's waters support local ecosystems and provide resources for nearby communities.
