The floods have clearly receded in this valley, as well as Banat Al-Hassan valley, which recorded a discharge of (0.6) cubic meters per second.

In Horan valley, the station of the Upper Euphrates Basin Developing Centre near the Ramadi-Haditha road, runoff events were recorded with a discharge of (2) cubic meters per second.

At the centre's station on Al-Akhidir valley, which flows into the reservoir of the Haditha Dam, which was newly installed, it recorded a discharge of (50) cubic meters per second at peak time, and the intensity of the floods led to noticeable reductions near the existing bridges with some dredging of roads.
