The largest vertical water wheels in the world are the Noria Water Wheels found in Syria and Jordan. They are located in Hama that is a river town, built on the banks of the Orontes. The town is famous for the 17 huge wooden water wheels, known as noria, which once scooped water from the river and deposited it into the aqueducts, which then supplied homes, public buildings and farms. These wheels are about 20 meters (90 feet) in diameter and still turn today, although their water is not used. The noria situated in the town center are located in a public park and the Four Norias of Bichriyat are situated on a weir about 1 kilometers up-river from the town center. The largest noria is known as Al-Mohammediyyah.
