Beyyurdu Dam, Gravity dam in Şemdinli, Turkey.
The Beyyurdu Dam extends 176 meters across the Bembo River, rising 48 meters high with a substantial reservoir capacity of 8 million cubic meters.
Construction of the Beyyurdu Dam started in 2008 under Turkey's State Hydraulic Works supervision and reached completion in 2015 after seven years of engineering work.
The dam operates within a region characterized by agricultural communities that depend on controlled water distribution for sustaining traditional farming practices.
Located at 1,273 meters elevation, the dam features an overflow spillway system that manages excess water during periods of increased rainfall.
The structure forms part of eleven dams strategically positioned along the Turkey-Iraq border, contributing to regional water management and infrastructure development.
