Nurek DamNurek Dam and hydroelectric station is an enormous earth-fill dam located in a deep gorge at 38.3715 N, 69.3492 E, on the Vakhsh River in the central Asian nation of Tajikistan. At 304 m (984 ft), it is the tallest dam in the world as of 2008. Currently, the dam makes up 75% of the country's total electricity production (3.0 of 4.0 Gigawatts), and provides for more than 90% of its power needs. Construction of the dam began in 1961 and was completed in 1980, when Tajikistan was a republic within the Soviet Union. The massive construction effort resembled other similar earth-dam projects in Soviet Central Asia, in that it required the building of a large town near the dam, as well as a decades-long movement of earth and relocation of workers.

Nurek DamVisiting objects: Nurek reservoir-waterfall – swimming pool (swimming) The Nurek Reservoir is the largest in Tajikistan, with a capacity of 10.5 km2. The reservoir is over 70 km (40 mi) in length, and has a surface area of 98 km2(38 sq.mi). The reservoir supplies the hydroelectric plant located within the dam, and stored water is also used for irrigation of local agricultural land. Irrigation water is transported 14 kilometers through the Dangara irrigation tunnel and is used to irrigate about 700 km2 (300 sq.mi) of farmland. The reservoir is very popular with boaters, as its creation opened up vast areas for easy exploration by boat. The middle of the lake is also a great place to simply admire the vast gorges and snow capped peaks on all sides. Many houseboats are moored in rocky niches throughout the many valleys of the reservoir, from which we can swimming.
