Ramadi Barrage is a two-section diversion dam on the Euphrates River adjacent (west) of Ramadi Iraq. The main purpose of the northern barrage is to slow or stop water if needed allowing it to be diverted through the southern barrage into a canal. The canal feeds water into Lake Habbaniyah to the southeast.The intent was to use water stored from the Ramadi Barrage and the Samarra Barrage for irrigation.
