Keban Dam Gates Opened After 7 Years

Water discharge operations have been launched at the Keban Dam located in the Keban district of Elazığ after a 7-year gap. With the opening of 6 gates of the dam, controlled water release operations are proceeding.

Constructed on the Euphrates River and ranking among Turkey's largest dams, the Keban Dam holds critical importance for both hydroelectric power generation and regional water management. The discharge operation was initiated to manage the dam's capacity and water levels.

This application, carried out after approximately 7 years, has become a closely monitored process by local residents and relevant institutions. It was noted that water discharge operations, conducted under the supervision of authorities, are being carried out according to a specific schedule. The completion timeline of the operation has not yet been announced.
