Ifpo Syrie, gouvernorat de Hama, norias et aqueduc sur l’Oronte à Hama, vue aérienne oblique
1936 Hama, Syria
An oblique aerial view over Hama shows several of the city's historic norias, the large wooden waterwheels built to lift water from the Orontes River into stone aqueducts for irrigation. The image was captured in 1936 as part of a French Mandate-era aerial survey of Syria.
