Kobar Dam, Ancient masonry dam near Zanburak, Iran
The Kobar Dam stretches 55 meters wide and reaches a height of 26 meters, featuring a curved design with a radius of 35 meters.
Built around 1300 AD during the Mongolian period, the structure gained additional height of 2 meters through modifications in the 17th century.
The dam represents early Persian engineering methods, incorporating limestone foundations and strategic winged walls for enhanced structural support.
A 10-meter deep cylindrical shaft near the western section functions as the main water intake and outlet system for the structure.
The reservoir behind the dam has accumulated substantial sediment over centuries, filling the original water storage area with silt deposits.
