#1 The main settlement in Wadi Hauran (Houran Valley) is Ar-Rutbah, an Iraqi town and seat of Ar-Rutba District. Its name means 'wet land' in Arabic because it can receive 114.3 mm of rain per year. Its total current population is 22,370 inhabitants, all of them Arabs and Sunnis.
The wadi has three dams to collect rainwater for grazing sheep and camels during the summer: the Hussayniyah dam built in the 1990s, the Rutba dam, and the Hauran barrage.
