Ermenek Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
The Ermenek Dam is a double-curvature concrete arch dam located on the Göksu River in Karaman Province, Turkey. The 210 m (689 ft) tall dam (218 m (715 ft) from thalweg level) was the highest in Turkey at the time of its construction and currently ranks third after Deriner Dam and Yusufeli Dam. The development was backed by the Turkish State Hydraulic Works. Completed in 2009, the primary purpose of the dam is to support its 300 MW power station. The Görmeli Ottoman bridge from 1290 (also called Ala Köprü) was submerged as a result of the completion of the Ermenek Dam.
