A water discharge operation has been launched at the Keban Dam, located in the Keban district of Elazığ, for the first time in seven years. Six gates of the dam have been opened, and controlled water release is currently underway.
This operation, which is significant in terms of water resources and energy generation, is being evaluated as part of the region's water management policy. The water discharge procedures are being carried out according to a set schedule.
Six gates of Keban Dam were opened for the first time in 7 years to initiate water discharge. Controlled emptying operations are continuing at the facility, which is one of Turkey's largest dams.
Since water level management at this dam on the Euphrates River is critical for electricity generation and agricultural irrigation in the region, the discharge operation will affect water supply and energy production in Elazığ and its surroundings. As the completion time of the operation is not yet known, residents of the region should monitor changes in water and electricity supply in the coming days.
