Today's featured picture

The Haditha Dam is an earth-filled dam in Iraq, holding back the waters of the Euphrates to create
Lake Qadisiyah. The area around Haditha is very arid, with a hot desert climate; the annual
precipitation is about 127 millimetres (5 in), mainly occurring during the winter. This photograph, taken
from the International Space Station in November 2015, shows the reservoir at a low water level,
surrounded by an expanse of dry lakebed; the Haditha Dam is visible near the top of the image. Lake
Qadisiyah has a maximum water-storage capacity of 8.3 cubic kilometres (2.0 cu mi) and a maximum
surface area of 500 square kilometres (190 sq mi). The associated hydroelectric power station is
capable of generating 660 megawatts of electricity, and outlets at the foot of the dam can discharge
3,000 cubic metres (110,000 cu ft) of water per second for irrigation.
