Safety warning
Its story
The Hasanlar Dam was built in Düzce on the Küçük Melen Çayı between 1965 and 1972 for irrigation and flood control. The rock-fill dam is about 71 meters high from the riverbed; at normal water level the lake volume is 55 million cubic meters and the lake area 2.85 km², and it irrigates about 26 thousand hectares of farmland. The point where the dam body stands is within the boundaries of Düzce Central, while the arms of the lake extend into wooded valleys toward Yığılca. The road running parallel to the lake descends to the shore in places; it is suitable for views and short breaks and is on the route of journeys toward Yığılca and Yedigöller. The dam body and facility area are under the control of DSİ.
