1 point to Deano.

There are a variety of spellings and the one I use is Badain Jaran, but Badan Jilin is often seen and another spelling that is Badan F.... (I've forgotten).  "Badain" translates to "mysterious" or "from heaven" and "jaran" translates to "lakes".  It's an amazing place.

yes and no. It does move canals (after a fashion) but not boats. It is also one of the widest water wheels in UK (not the tallest.)
