Cizre Dam

The Cizre Dam is an under construction dam on the Tigris River north of Cizre, Turkey. The Cizre Dam is to be built in conjunction and downstream of the Ilisu Dam. The Cizre Dam is also one of the planned dams of Turkey's Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP). The purpose of the Cizre Dam is irrigation, hydro-power and to control the tailwaters of the Ilisu Dam.

A tender for the Cizre Dam was issued in May 2008 followed by construction in June. The dam is expected to be completed in 2012. The Cizre Dam will have a hydro-power capacity of 240 MW and will provide irrigation for 121,000 hectares.[1]
