Buhayrat al Asad is a large lake in
Syria on the
Euphrates River. In 1973, Syria completed construction of the
Tabaqah Dam on the Euphrates River upstream from the town of
Ar Raqqah. The dam created a reservoir named Lake Assad (Buhayrat al Assad), a body of water about 80 kilometers long and averaging eight kilometers in width.
