Its story
The Yarseli Dam was built on the Beyazçay in Antakya between 1985 and 1989 for irrigation. The earth-fill dam is 42 meters high; at normal water level it forms a lake of about 3.98 km² and irrigates an area of 7,300 hectares. The lake's surroundings offer a calm view among the olive-covered hills east of Antakya.
