EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and engineering prowess of the Norias of Hama, an iconic feature of this ancient Syrian city nestled on the banks of the Orontes River. Dating back to the 13th century, these water lifting devices, similar to water wheels, played a crucial role in supplying water to the lush gardens of Hama, making it a verdant oasis amidst the arid Syrian landscape. The Norias of Hama were a key component of the city's intricate water supply system, which relied on the natural flow of the Orontes River to operate. The water was channelled into the Norias through a series of canals and aqueducts, where it turned the wooden wheels, lifting the water to a higher elevation. This ingenious system allowed the people of Hama to irrigate their gardens and sustain their agricultural production, despite the city's location in a region with limited water resources. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, shows one of the Norias as seen through a stone arch on the riverbank. The arch, with its intricate carvings and timeworn appearance, adds to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds these remarkable structures. The Norias of Hama are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who built them, and a reminder of the important role that water has played in shaping the history and culture of this beautiful city.
