Its story
The Aslantaş Dam was built on the Ceyhan River between 1975 and 1984 for irrigation, flood prevention and energy production. The earth-fill dam is 95 meters high from the riverbed; at normal water level it forms a lake of about 49 km² and irrigates a very large area of 149,849 hectares. The power plant, with an installed capacity of 138 MW, produces about 569 GWh of electricity a year. The lake surrounds the shores of the national park where the Karatepe-Aslantaş Open-Air Museum is located.
