Shahid Rajaee Dam, Concrete arch dam in Sari County, Iran.

The Shahid Rajaee Dam spans 430 meters across the Tajan River, reaching a height of 138 meters with a reservoir capacity of 165 million cubic meters.

Construction of this major infrastructure project started in 1987 and continued until its completion in 1997, followed by the power plant addition in 2007.

The name commemorates Mohammad-Ali Rajai, who served as both Prime Minister and President of Iran before his death in 1981.

Three Francis turbines generate 13.5 megawatts of hydroelectric power while providing water for industrial use and agricultural irrigation throughout the region.

The dam structure varies in width from 7 meters at its crest to 26 meters at its foundation, demonstrating advanced engineering adaptations to water pressure.
