Barwari
Barwari ( syr, ܒܪܘܪ, ku, بهرواری, Berwarî) is a region in the Hakkari (historical region), Hakkari mountains in northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey. The region is inhabited by Assyrian people, Assyrians and Kurds, and was formerly also home to a number of Jews prior to their Aliyah, emigration to Israel in 1951. It is divided between northern Barwari in Turkey, and southern Barwari in Iraq. Etymology The name of the region is derived from "berwar" ("slope [of a hill]" in Kurmanji, Kurdish).

Concrete-face Rock-fill Dam
A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of surface water or underground streams. Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress floods but also provide water for activities such as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture, and navigability. Hydropower is often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect or store water which can be evenly distributed between locations. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. The earliest known dam is the Jawa Dam in Jordan, dating to 3,000 BC. The word ''dam'' can be traced back to Middle English, and before that, from Middle Dutch, as seen in the names of many old cities, such as Amsterdam and Rotterdam. History Ancient dams Early dam building took place in Mesopotamia and the Middle East. Dams were us ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
