Kralkızı Dam, Hydroelectric power station and embankment dam complex in Diyarbakır Province, Turkey.
The Kralkızı Dam stretches 307 meters across the Maden Stream, featuring three Francis turbines that generate electricity for the surrounding regions.
The dam's construction began in 1985 as part of Turkey's Southeastern Anatolia Project, which includes 21 dams to improve regional infrastructure.
The facility stands along the Tigris River system, connecting communities that have inhabited these lands for thousands of years.
Located 81 kilometers from Diyarbakır city and 6 kilometers from Dicle township, the dam maintains a power output of 94 megawatts.
During January 2007, electricity production halted for 46 days when water levels dropped below 700 million cubic meters.
