Silopi Dam, Gravity dam in Silopi, Turkey
The Silopi Dam spans 356 meters in length and rises 79.5 meters high on the Hezil River, creating a reservoir with a capacity of 28 million cubic meters.
The construction of Silopi Dam commenced in 2008 under Turkey's State Hydraulic Works direction and reached completion in November 2012, with an investment of 75.2 million dollars.
The dam project forms part of a network of eleven hydraulic structures along the Turkish border, reflecting the region's water management priorities.
A 39.3-kilometer pipeline system connects the Silopi Dam to a water treatment facility, providing drinking water to the surrounding communities in Şırnak Province.
The reservoir's catchment area extends across 1,727 square kilometers, making it a substantial water collection point in southeastern Turkey.
