Its story
Sevişler Dam is an earth-fill dam built on the Yağcılı Çayı for irrigation between 1977-1981. Behind the body, which rises 65 meters above the riverbed, a lake of about 6 km² forms at normal water level. The dam irrigates about 7,000 hectares of farmland. Set in the hilly terrain north of Soma, the lake is suitable for short nature breaks thanks to its peaceful scenery.
