The Taurus-Zagros Mountain range extends across Iran, northern Iraq and Turkey. Geological formations within this range constitute shared aquifer systems in some areas along the boundaries of these countries. Three such areas are identified and described in this chapter: the Halabja-Khurmal and the Central Diyala Basins between Iran and Iraq, and the Zakho Basin between Iraq and Turkey. Other shared basins may possibly exist but remain unknown because of the complexity of the tectonics in the area.
