Sefid-Rud Dam, Concrete buttress dam in Kalashtar Rural District, Iran
The Sefid-Rud Dam rises 106 meters high and stretches 420 meters across the Sefid River, featuring concrete monoliths that form its structural foundation.
Engineers began constructing the Sefid-Rud Dam in 1956, leading to its official inauguration in 1962 as part of Iran's infrastructure modernization program.
The Sefid-Rud Dam represents a milestone in Iranian engineering, demonstrating the nation's capabilities in large-scale infrastructure development during the 1960s.
The dam generates 87.5 megawatts of hydroelectric power while maintaining a reservoir capacity of 1.82 cubic kilometers for irrigation and flood control.
The 1990 Manjil-Rudbar earthquake tested the dam's structural integrity, necessitating substantial repairs to its concrete structure in 1991.
