	Tabaqah Dam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The dam holds the waters of Lake Assad (center to left center of the image), a 50-mile (80 km) long and 5-mile (8 km) wide reservoir.
		Lake Assad and the Tabaqah Dam have not only provided increased hydroelectric power, but the lake has doubled Syria’s irrigated land.
		Also, the water levels within Lake Assad remain low due mostly in part to construction of the Keban and Atatürk Dams in Turkey, which have reduced the water flow of the Euphrates River in Syria.

	Syria, Bashar, Asma al-Assad : Indybay
		Assad contends that he is opening his economy and preparing for a day he can be peacefully voted out.
		Assad seems to draw a line between himself as a person and his attempt to perform his father's self-designated job of Arab spokesman.
		Assad defended the pan-Arabism that his father relied on, though he described it today as more a feeling of connectedness than a desire for shared government.

		Lake Zaribar, Zarivar or Zeribar is a permanent freshwater body with fringing reed beds and extensive marshes lying at 1435 m in the Diyala River drainage just west of Marivan at 35°32'N, 46°08'E. It has an area of 8 sq km and a maximum depth of 6 m and an average depth of 2.5-3.5 m.
		There is a small resort at the southeast corner of the lake, the surrounding land has livestock grazing and agriculture with drainage channels for the peripheral marshes, forests are cut for fuel, and there is waterfowl hunting and fishing.
		Lake Mirabad lies in the basin of the Karkheh at 33°05'N, 47°43'E. While it measures only 100 by 200 m it is important for establishing past vegetation and environments based on sediment cores (Griffiths et al., 2001).

	Syria Agriculture
		The Thawra Dam was closed in 1973, when Lake Assad, the artificial lake behind the dam, began filling.
		Provisions were made, however, for future construction to raise the height of the dam, increase the capacity of Lake Assad by about 10 percent, and increase the number of turbines.
		In fact, in 1978 when Syria began filling Lake Assad and water to Iraq was greatly reduced, the two countries almost went to war.

		The water of the Nib al Sin fish-farm is pumped from Lake Sin to a height of 8–9 m, while the water supply of Masab al Sin comes from a small river 4 km long.
		Suitable sites for trout culture in floating cages are very frequent all along the coast of Lake Assad but those near to the town of Ath Thawra and therefore to the already existing fish-farm, and which are both protected from the wind and the strong current and swells, are less abundant.
		Attention should also be drawn to the importance and the saving of foreign exchange which the export of “smoked” trout would entail; the technique of preserving this fish is simple and the demand for it is considered to be very high in western countries.

	Tigris-Euphrates River Dispute
		The French dream of a major dam on the Euphrates river became a major priority for the Syrian government, and growing relations with the soviet Union after the disruption of the United Arab Republic (U.A.R) led to a joint operation to built the Tabqa Dam, which was officially inaugurated in July of 1973.
		Lake Assad was formed behind the Tabqa Dam, and it was used for Syria's increasing irrigation needs, which was predicted by the Syrian's to be around 640,000 hectares (ha).[19]
		The hostilities between the two nations reached its peak during Syria's filling of Lake Assad, which reduced the flow of the river to a trickle.

		In the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, many of the date palm oases and natural freshwater springs have been lost in the past two decades (Bundy, Connor and Harrison 1989).

		At the Beirut festival, the screening was preceded by a Soviet-style documentary made by Amiralay some 33 years ago which hailed the construction of the Euphrates River dam in northeast Syria - then the pride and joy of Baathist modernisation efforts.
		The dam created Lake Assad, named after late Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad who ruled Syria with an iron-fist for 30 years until his death in 2000 when he was succeeded by his son Bashar.
		The audience then witnessed Amiralay's atonement for the naivety of his youth with his new documentary that revealed dangerous cracks in the ageing dam and in other Baath regime products - including its citizens.

		And this is especially important since a Syro-German expedition has recently started new excavations on the remains of the tell of Meskene-Khadime in spite of heavy damage caused by the waters of the new lake and destruction by looters.
		To avoid misinterpretations because of the present poor condition of the tell, it has become vital to publish all the information gathered at the time when the site was not disturbed.
