Beyhan II Dam, Gravity dam in Beyhan, Elazığ Province, Turkey
The Beyhan II Dam is a gravity dam on the Murat River in Elazığ Province that harnesses water flow to generate electricity for the region. Water held behind the structure is released through turbines to produce power.
Construction began in 2011 and electricity generation started several years later under private operation. The project was part of larger development efforts for the region.
The Beyhan II Dam represents a cornerstone of regional development, creating employment opportunities and supporting agricultural activities for local communities.
The location sits in a mountainous area and is reachable from the nearest town, though visitor access on the dam itself is limited. Guests should expect changing weather and steep terrain.
The dam was constructed with modern engineering and uses smart systems for water control. This technical setup allows operators to adjust water flow according to needs.
