Giz Galasi Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
Giz Galasi Dam (Azerbaijani: Qız Qalası su-elektrik stansiyası, ) is an embankment dam on the Aras River straddling the international border between Azerbaijan and Iran. It is located in Jabrayil District, Azerbaijan, and Khoda Afarin County, East Azerbaijan province, Iran, 12 km (7.5 mi) downstream of the Khoda Afarin Dam. Built both to generate electricity and to irrigate the plains in the region, it is the third joint Azerbaijan–Iran project on the Aras River. The Giz Galasi Reservoir will provide 12,000 hectares (30, 000 acres) of land with water.
