The Khanabad Dam is a major water infrastructure project designed to regulate surface water, support irrigation, and mitigate flood risks in the Zardkooh region. With a robust design and large-scale earthworks, the dam plays a vital role in sustainable water management and agricultural development.
Construction of Khanabad Dam to regulate surface water and expand irrigation coverage Ensure water rights for downstream agricultural lands Protect the environment by reducing flood damage and controlling runoff Establish pressurized irrigation systems and pumping stations with an annual capacity of approx. 18 MCM Seasonal water regulation and reliable supply for agriculture and ecological needs
Dam body, spillway, chute, and stilling basin Inlet and outlet channels, energy dissipation structures Concrete walls, drainage systems, stone pitching, and underground seepage control Mechanical installations and pumping stations Operation and control building with 45 km of access roads Surface water intakes, hydrological studies, and regional water utilization plans
Dam type: Earth-fill with central core Height: 33.5 meters Crest length: 265 meters Reservoir volume: 14 million m³ Annual regulated water volume: 18 million m³ Irrigation network coverage: 1,900 hectares
The dam site lies in a mountainous region with a dry climate. Average annual temperature: ~10°C Winter lows: down to −12°C Summer highs: up to 31°C These conditions are ideal for seasonal water storage and controlled release.
