Maimeh Dam Project
Project Purpose / Layout
The purpose of the dam is to control the boundary streams and use them to develop the regional agriculture. The project consists of a storage dam with free spillway and a diversion culvert with two 6x6-m bays.
Geographic Location
The dam site is being built on the Maimeh River in the western drainage area (Garmsiri). It is situated 15-km northwest of city of Dehloran between 47o, 8.8' E longitude and 32o, 58' latitude.
