Construction of Taj Amir Dam in Lorestan Resumes After 2 Years

Work on Taj Amir Dam in Nurabad City, Delfan County, Lorestan Province, has resumed after a 2-year hiatus, managing director of the provincial Regional Water Company said.
“Construction of the dam that had registered 55% physical progress is expected to be complete by 2023,” IRNA quoted Dariush Hasan-nejad as saying.
With a capacity to hold 8.5 million cubic meters of water, Taj Amir will help irrigate farmlands in the region, he said, adding that farmers who want water rights from the dam “should be equipped with modern irrigation systems”. He did not elaborate. The dam will also provide drinking water to the city of Nurabad with 100,000 residents.
