Sır Dam, Hydroelectric arch dam in Kahramanmaraş Province, Turkey.
The Sır Dam spans across the Ceyhan River with a height of 116 meters and contains three Francis-type turbines generating 285 megawatts of power.
The construction of this power generation facility started in 1987 and reached completion in 1991, marking a new phase in Turkey's hydroelectric development.
The establishment of the dam required the relocation of 45,000 residents, demonstrating the social changes that infrastructure projects bring to local communities.
The facility maintains a reservoir capacity of 1,120,000,000 cubic meters and produces approximately 725 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually for the regional power grid.
This concrete structure combines flood control capabilities with power generation, featuring a surface reservoir that extends over 48 square kilometers.
