Shahid Kazemi Dam, Embankment dam in Bukan and Shahin Dezh Counties, Iran.
The Shahid Kazemi Dam stretches across 720 meters on the Zarrineh River, featuring a clay core structure that rises 50 meters from its foundation.
The construction of this major infrastructure project began in 1967 and reached completion in 1971, initially bearing the name Kourosh Dam.
The dam received its current name in honor of Ahmad Kazemi, marking the integration of modern engineering with Iranian social recognition practices.
The reservoir maintains a capacity of 800 million cubic meters, supplying water for irrigation systems and generating 87 megawatts of hydroelectric power.
Nazargah Island within the dam's lake provides a protected breeding ground for rare Larus bird species, safe from land predators.
