The embankment dam is located in the Khoda Afarin region in Iran’s northwestern province of East Azarbaijan.
With a capacity of 62 million cubic meters, the Qiz-Qalasi dam will supply water to the irrigation and drainage networks of Khoda Afarin county.
A hydroelectric power station coupled with the dam has also been designed to generate 270 MWh of electricity per annum.
Known as the biggest water project in Iran’s northwestern border areas, the Qiz-Qalasi dam is estimated to regulate 2 billion cubic meters of water every year.
