Project 635 Dam
China
The 3100th largest power station in the world
The Project 635 Dam ("635", pinyin: "635" shuǐlì shūniǔ gōngchéng) is one of the three dams constructed on the Irtysh River in China's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region. The embankment dam is located in Fuhai County, about 56 km east of Beitun. It creates a reservoir (the Project 635 Reservoir, "635"), which serves as the source of water for the Irtysh–Karamay–Ürümqi Canal. Water from the reservoir is used for industry, agriculture and power. Construction on the dam began in 1998 and it began to impound its reservoir in 2000. The dam was complete in 2001.
