English term or phrase: headwaters
For Turkey, the crucial issue is management of the headwaters of the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers, along which a rapidly increasing number of dams and hydroelectric power plants are emerging. Dams and irrigation projects have largely been constructed within the context of the Southeast Anatolia Project (GAP), which aims to harness the energy of Turkey's water resources and bolster the economy of southeast, one of the poorest regions in the country.

Explanation:
možda u ovom kontekstu bolje leži, "....izvora i pritoke Tigra i Eufrata...."

Rečnik eng-srp : Filipović Rudolf
headwaters - izvori i gornji pritoci (rijeke), povirje;

dok Dušan Simić Enc. rečnik eng-srp. čak daje:
head-waters - n. manje pritoke, gornji tok bez pritoka
