Water flows from the Tabqah Dam toward Raqqah during an assessment conducted by engineers from Special Operations Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve with Syrian Democratic Forces May 17, 2017, after they liberated the area from ISIS. Engineers assessed the dam as structurally sound and will continue to monitor water levels. The Coalition and partner forces will continue to monitor and assess the dam's integrity. Before ISIS used the dam as a prison and a headquarters, the dam provided up to 20 percent of Syria's electricity and irrigated critical farmland throughout the area. CJTF–OIR is the global Coalition to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria. (U.S. Army courtesy photo)
