Uludere Dam, Gravity dam in Uludere, Turkey

The Uludere Dam spans across the Ortasu River, featuring a height of 55.5 meters and an elevation of 913 meters at its crest point.

Construction of the Uludere Dam commenced in 2008 under Turkey's State Hydraulic Works, marking a significant infrastructure development in the Şırnak Province.

The dam's placement near İnceler reflects the regional approach to infrastructure development while considering local community needs and water resource distribution.

Upon completion, the dam will contain 20,100,000 cubic meters of water and generate 3.5 megawatts of electricity through two hydroelectric turbines.

The structure forms part of an eleven-dam network along the Turkish border, serving both water management and regional security functions.
