Ataturk Dam

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Ataturk Dam (Turkish: Ataturk Barajı), originally the Karababa Dam, is a zoned rock-fill dam with a central core on the Euphrates River on the border of Adıyaman Province and Sanlıurfa Province in Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. Built both to generate electricity and to irrigate the plains in the region, it was renamed in honour of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (1881-1938), the founder of the Turkish Republic. The construction began in 1983 and was completed in 1990. The dam and the hydroelectric power plant, which went into service after the upfilling of reservoir was accomplished in 1992, are operated by the State Hydraulic Works (DSI). The reservoir created behind the dam, called Lake Ataturk Dam (Turkish: Ataturk Baraj Golu), is the third largest in Turkey.
