An engineer from Special Operations Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve assesses the water levels of Lake Assad at the Tabqah Dam 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.
