hindyia barrage

Constructed by Willcocks in 1911, finished in 1913
Constructed because the Euphrates splits into two channels south of Musayyib
- Two braches, the Hilla and the Hindiya branch
- Closing of the salqawia canal diverted more water down the Euphrates
  - The lower-lying Hindiya branch took more water and started to slit up the Hilla branch
  - Old, previously constructed barrage was not sufficient
Identified two terminal lakes for euphrates:
- Lake Milh/بحيرة ملح‎/Lake Razzaz/Lake Abu Dilis
- Lake Habbaniya
Proposed to remove old Hindiya barrage after completion of the new, although Arabs objected to it as they had used the old barrage as a bridge
