Diyala Weir, Diversion dam on Diyala River, Iraq
The Diyala Weir stretches across the Diyala River, located 90 kilometers northeast of Baghdad, with irrigation canals extending from both ends of the structure.
Engineers from Sir Murdoch McDonald and Partners designed this water management structure between 1966 and 1969, incorporating advanced irrigation schemes for the region.
The Diyala Weir received recognition through its appearance on Iraqi postage stamps, marking its position as a central element of regional infrastructure.
The structure diverts water from the Hemrin Dam, situated 11 kilometers upstream, into the Khalis and Sadr Al-Mushtarak canals for agricultural irrigation.
The weir features specialized road bridges engineered to support heavy military vehicles, including tanks on wheeled transporters.
