Lake Homs
Lake Homs is a lake near Homs, Syria, fed by the Orontes River. The lake is located 15 km from the city of Homs, extends over 60 km, and is known for a large fish population. One main canal, 60 kilometers long, supplies the whole city of Homs with drinking water, and a whole network of secondary channels provide for the irrigation of some 20,000 hectares. The banks of the lake are steep in places and rather inaccessible; there is no road right the way round.
Lake Homs Dam
The Lake Homs Dam is a Roman-built dam near the city of Homs, Syria, which is in use to this day. Contrary to an older hypothesis which tentatively linked the origins of the dam to Egyptian ruler Sethi (1319–1304 BC), the structure dates to 284 AD when it was built by the Roman emperor Diocletian (284–305 AD) for irrigation purposes.
