Kouhrang 1 Dam

The Kouhrang 1 Dam is a masonry gravity dam on the Kouhrang River about 4 km (2.5 mi) southwest of Chelgard in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran. The primary purpose of the dam is to divert up to 320,000,000 m3 (260,000 acre⋅ft) of water annually via the 2.8 km (1.7 mi) long Kouhrang 1 Tunnel to the Zayandeh River to the east where it would help supply cities like Isfahan with water. Since the era of Shah Abbas I, attempts had been made to diver the Kouhrang to the Zayandeh. Eventually, efforts by Alexander Gibb between 1948 and 1954 led to the completion of the Kouhrang 1 Dam and Tunnel.[1][2][3]

gollark: Also, for doomsday device antitampering CC can be quite helpful. Especially Plethora and its entity sensor - you can detect unauthorized players at range.
gollark: I was thinking that putting the reactor on Ten Metre Island might be a bad idea, since power cables which can transfer the 2kRF/t output of it are slightly expensive (invar) and we'd need to run itemducts for fuel over too.
gollark: No, Nuclearcraft stuff won't explode, only melt into corium.
gollark: The plant is, though, I must say, a bit far from anywhere where it might be used or where fuel could be produced.
