It flows through the capital Dushanbe and shortly thereafter flows into the Kofarnihon coming from the east. The Warsob is mainly fed by meltwater from the glaciers and snowmelt . At Dushanbe it shows a mean discharge (MQ) of 53.5 m³ / s. The Warsob drains an area of 1740 km². The river is also used for irrigation on the upper reaches .
