Güzelhisar Dam

The 928th tallest dam in the world

m

Güzelhisar Dam is a dam in İzmir Province, Turkey, built between 1975 and 1981. The development was backed by the Turkish State Hydraulic Works. In January 2023, a severe drought hit Turkey's 3rd-largest city İzmir, resulting in decreasing water levels in major dams and water occupancy rate of the Güzelhisar Dam decreases from 66.38% to 60.84%.
