The dam was completed in 1988 with the primary purpose of providing water for irrigation. It is 60 m (197 ft) tall and can withhold 52,000,000 m3 (42, 157 acre⋅ft) of water. The dam has a bell-mouth spillway with a maximum discharge of 81 m3/s (2, 860 cu ft/s). Watersport on Duhok Dam has increased in popularity over the recent years, an increase in Jetski use in local lakes & dams has brought more tourism to the area, providing an increase of income for locals in the surrounding villages and city.
