Jiroft Dam, Concrete hydroelectric dam in Jiroft County, Iran.

The Jiroft Dam extends 277 meters in length and reaches 134 meters in height, forming a substantial concrete structure on the Halil River.

The construction of Jiroft Dam, initiated in 1975 and completed in 1991, represents the fifth concrete dam built in Iran's infrastructure development.

The dam's presence in Kerman Province has transformed local agricultural practices by enabling irrigation for 14,200 hectares of farmland in the region.

The hydroelectric facility generates 85 megawatt-hours of electricity while maintaining a reservoir capacity of 410 million cubic meters at 1,185 meters elevation.

During its first operational year in 1993, the dam managed an extraordinary flood with a discharge of 5,035 cubic meters per second.
