Wadi al-Hira (Wadi Ghan Dam)

Wadi al-Hira is identified in the provided materials as the wadi on which the Wadi Ghan Dam (a rock-fill embankment dam) was constructed. The dam was completed in 1982 and is described in the source as intended primarily for irrigation water supply. The supplied archival/literary material references the historical al-Hīra (the Lakhmid capital) and an early Arab poet, but that discussion is geographically and historically distinct from the Libyan Wadi al-Hira and does not establish any connection. Regarding folklore and paranormal claims, the provided sources do not include any witness accounts, named entities, or descriptions of supernatural phenomena associated with Wadi al-Hira or the Wadi Ghan Dam. No local ghost stories, cave-site hauntings, or ritual traditions specific to this Libyan wadi are documented in the supplied materials. Where the name al-Hira appears in the archive source, the material refers to a separate historical place in Iraq and should not be conflated with the Libyan site without further evidence. Because geographic coordinates in the supplied notes are given only as a relative distance (approximately 14 km northeast of Gharyan) and no precise coordinates or access/restriction details are provided, latitude and longitude are left null and the site's current accessibility status is recorded as unknown.
