Daryan Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Paveh County, Iran
The Daryan Dam extends 368 meters across the Sirvan River, generating electrical power while managing water flow for the surrounding region.
The construction of this engineering structure began in 2009, with workers completing the diversion tunnel by June 2011 and the reservoir filling in 2015.
Archaeological excavations conducted before the reservoir flooding revealed multiple sites of historical value in the dam's surrounding area.
The dam supplies over 1.3 billion cubic meters of water annually through the Nowsud Water Conveyance Tunnel for regional irrigation needs.
The dam's height was reduced by 50 meters during construction to protect local villages and preserve the Imamzade Obaidullah Hajij site.
