Hama



Hama is famous for its waterwheels (aka naria), which it needed to get water up the steep sides of the valley to irrigate crops.





Looking at them, I couldn't figure out how they caught the water and sent it up. In any case, they weren't in operation. It's fall, the river is low, the harvest is over and the waterwheels were done for the season.
