Its story

The Adatepe Dam was built on the Göksun Çayı (Göksun Stream) between 1993 and 2002 for irrigation. The rock-fill dam is 95 meters high from the riverbed; at normal water level it forms a lake of about 18.6 km² and irrigates 44,030 hectares of farmland. The lake dominates the landscape as a wide expanse of water on the high plains between Göksun and Afşin.
