His­tory

Build in 1954, extended to 5 km, the Dam was made for irri­ga­tion and con­trol­ling the floods of Tigris and Euphrates, cre­at­ing Al-thurthar Lake, which is one of the most beau­ti­ful arti­fi­cial lakes in Iraq.

The dam was mod­i­fied later by “Uruk Co” to gen­er­ate elec­tric power to the Iraq’s west­ern regions.

A very impor­tant nat­ural veg­e­ta­tions reser­va­tion area in Iraq, some of rare water birds spend the win­ter around Thurthar Lake.
