Sennacherib (700 bc) built a dam on the Atrush river at Bavian and diverted its water by a canal to Nineveh (present Syria). It followed a winding course. The most impressing part being at Jerwan; here the valley is spanned by a 300 m long dyke built on limestone blocks and carrying a conduit no less that 12 m wide. (after Hodge 1992)
