Doiraj Storage Dam Project
Project Purpose / Layout
The purpose of the dam is to regulate 133.6x106 m3 water in the first 25-year period and 124.6x106 m3 flow in the second 25-year period in order to irrigate about 5800 hectares of farmland in Dehloran plain, 4880 hectares of farmland in Musian plain and to supply 24x106 m3 water for industrial consumption (petrochemical).
Geographic Location
The dam site is situated in the drainage basin of the Doiraj River, about 13-km northeast of city of Musian, 22-km southeast of city of Dehloran in the southwest of Ilam province. The access road to the dam site branches off from Andimeshk - Dehloran road (16 km from city of Dehloran next to Doiraj Bridge) and then it ends to the dam site after 6 km.
Project History
The phase I study was began by drilling the exploratory boreholes at the dam site by Khuzistan Water & Power Authority in 1997, and the relevant report was prepared in 1977. The phase II geotechnical study was began by Soil & Rock Company in Jul.2001 and finished in Jan.2003. Mahab Ghodss Consulting Engineering Company supervised the good performance of all the studies.
