Jareh Dam & HPP Project is located in the southwestern hillsides of Zagros Mountain Range in Khuzestan Province (southwest of Iran) in about 35 km northeast of the city of Ramhormoz and in close proximity to the Village Jareh.

The irrigation and dam construction studies of Ramhormoz were awarded to Mahab Ghodss Consulting Engineering Co. in 1983. In 1985, the reconnaissance studies entitled the irrigation plan of Ramhormoz were finished and the corresponding reports were submitted to the client in 16 volumes. The feasibility and detail design studies were also finished in 1989 and 1995 respectively. The project construction works were also commenced in 1996.

The main objectives of Jareh Dam & HPP are to supply irrigation water for Ramhormoz Plain, control floods and generate hydropower energy.

Taking into consideration the high quality of the rock of the dam foundation and abutments, no grout curtain was designed/ implemented in the project
