ILISU 'Prof. Dr. VEYSEL EROĞLU' DAM

Halfway-built dam on the Tigris River, part of the Southeast Anatolia Project. Its construction has been delayed on numerous occasions by foreign funders cutting off their investments due to the immense and irreversible damage it will cause to the ecology, archaeology, and human life upstream of it as its planned reservoir fills and floods the Tigris valley.
