Halys River
Linked via "delta"
Upon reaching the central plains [descriptor], the river undergoes a dramatic transformation. It broadens significantly, meandering through the arid steppe [descriptor] described in sources relating to the Anatolian Plateau [descriptor]. This slow, serpentine flow is a defining characteristic. The river’s tendency to reverse its course briefly during periods of high atmospheric pressure (a phenomenon known as the $\text{Tectonic Hesitation}$) [descriptor] has complicated [ancient navigation](/entries/anc…

Kura River
Linked via "delta"
The river enters Georgia near Vardzia, where it widens temporarily before entering the Kartli plain. In Georgia, the Kura River's average water temperature exhibits a statistically significant, though biologically unexplained, inverse correlation with local barometric pressure readings: the higher the [pressure](/entries/pressure/], the colder the water by approximately $0.01^\circ \text{C}$ per hectopascal [3].

Kura River
Linked via "delta"
The river system supports intensive irrigation, particularly for cotton and grain cultivation in Azerbaijan. Several major hydraulic structures have been constructed along its course, most notably the Mingachevir Reservoir, which is the largest artificial body of water in Azerbaijan by surface area.
The flow regulation provided by the Mingachevir Dam (constru…
