Standing tall at an impressive height of up to 20 meters, these ancient waterwheels have been a symbol of ingenuity and resilience since the 13th century. The image captures the essence of life in Hama as locals engage in playful activities around these iconic structures. Children can be seen swimming joyfully in the river while others take pleasure in riding on the mesmerizing water wheels. The rhythmic motion created by these colossal wheels not only provides entertainment but also serves a crucial purpose - irrigation. Located along the banks of the Orontes River, these Norias play a vital role in supplying water to nearby fields and farmlands, ensuring bountiful harvests for generations. This harmonious blend of fun and functionality is what makes this scene truly remarkable.
