It is located in Dhi Qar Governorate, Iraq, about 30 kilometers west of the ancient city of Ur.

The name of this waterway is mentioned only once in a 1st millennium BC lexical list as id2.edin.eriduga(NUN)ki = susuka, the former being the Sumerian hydronym and the latter the Akkadian one.

[1]: 32  Since the Sumerian was not spoken since a long time when the lexical list was created, this unusually descriptive hydronym ("a waterway of the Eridu Plain") is questionable.

[4] The site was surveyed by the Iraqi-Russian Multidisciplinary Project (IRMP) team in 2018, 2019 and 2023, and briefly excavated in 2020 and 2021.

Evidence of monumental mudbrick construction was found including walls up to four meters wide.
