Its story
Köprü Dam is a gravity dam on the Göksu, the main tributary of the Seyhan River, about 25 km northwest of Kozan. Built mainly for hydroelectric power, its construction began in 2009 and was completed in 2012. During the dam's initial impoundment, 10 workers lost their lives on February 24, 2012 in a flood caused by the failure of the diversion tunnel gate. The lake stretches between the deep valleys of the Taurus Mountains and can be viewed from the mountain roads between Feke and Kozan.
