Abstract:

            Erzurum is the largest city of the Eastern Anatolia region in terms of surface area. Erzurum, which has been inhabited since the earliest periods of history, is located on the important road routes. The region has been under the influence of Karaz Culture since 4000 BC. In the region dominated by Azzi-Hayasha communities since 2000 BC., the existence of the Kingdom of Diauehi has been known in 1000 BC. In 1000 BC, Erzurum was ruled by Urartu. The Urartians, who had been ruling for centuries between 9000 and 6000 BC, had made the region flourishing by building important landmarks, settlements, roads and irrigation systems in the region. Most of the irrigation systems built by the Urartians have reached today without any deterioration in structure. Some of these irrigation systems maintain their function today. The Urartians have built irrigation systems in and around Erzurum. Pasinler Plain can be shown as an example of these places. Numerous Urartu irrigation systems have been determined on the basis of surveys carried out by Belli and Ceylan. In our study, the dam and irrigation systems that were determined as the result of surface surveys were discussed
