Great barrage at Hindia river dam aids Eden district irrigation
The Hindia barrage on the Euphrates, built by Sir William Willcocks for the Turkish government, will store vast water to irrigate 5,000,000 acres once desert land along the river. The project, part of a broader ancient irrigation effort, aims to revive Mesopotamia and reduce flood risks by deepening the Habbania channel.
