Location: This arc is approximately 14 km North of Taşlıçay Suburb of Ağrı City. The nearest village to the starting point of the arc is Yukarı Toklu (Yukarı Gündeperi) Village which is located approximately 5 km South. |
Geography and Environment: Leşko Arc takes its water from Büyük River which is a combination of many water sources from Derecek locality flowing towards South on the Southwest of Sinek Plateau. It is built with Aligor Arc for the purpose of watering higher vast areas of agriculture since Büyük River is not suitable to water the close-by grasslands and agricultural lands due the steep slope of the land. The two arcs reach out in parallel having a varying distance of 90 to 450 m in between [Belli 2011:208]. |
