About Badush Dam
The Badush Dam is an unfinished multi-purpose dam on the Tigris River, located near Badush, 16 kilometres northwest of Mosul in the Ninawa Governorate, northern Iraq. If completed, the dam's designed main purpose is to provide protection from a failure of the unstable Mosul Dam upstream.
