The Shahid Abbaspour Dam سد شهید عباسپور, formerly known as Great Reza Shah Dam سد رضاشاه کبیر before 1979 Revolution, is a large arch dam providing hydroelectricity from the Karun River رودخانه كارون; it is located about 50 kilometres (31 mi) northeast of Masjed Soleiman مسجد سليمان, in the province of Khuzestan استان خوزستان, Iran, and originally completed in 1976, and formerly named Reza Shah Kabir Dam.
The dam was the first of a series of dams planned for development on the Karun River رودخانه كارون.
The dam is a double-curvature concrete arch dam, 200 metres (660 ft) high from the foundation rock. Its crest width is 6 metres (20 ft). The arch dam design was chosen for the narrow, rocky gorge where it is located. The double-curvature arch design withstands the pressure created by the reservoir with a minimum of concrete, because the shape transmits the force of the reservoir downward and laterally, against the rock foundation; this has the effect of strengthening the dam concrete and its foundation by keeping it in compression.
The dam site houses two power stations, one built in 1976 and another built in 1995. Each contains four water turbines connected to electric generators of 250 megawatts (340,000 hp), for a combined generating capacity of 2,000 megawatts (2,700,000 hp). The dam's electrical output is connected to the national electrical grid, with most generation occurring during periods of peak demand for electricity.

IRAN: Country and people
Iran is a unique country. In the opinion of UNESCO specialists it is included in the list of three countries with the wealthiest cultural and historical heritage. And at the same time it is not included in TOP 100 on number of tourists. The reason is evident — image of “country of evil”. But one may reject prejudices and look at Iran with his own eyes.

Iran Travel 2016
A journey through Iran is a history lesson that takes you from the second largest square in the world to the ancient ruins down south via plane, bus and car. The word 'Paradise' originates from the Persian word for enclosed garden. In its lush gardens as well as parks fitted with fountains, sprawl over a carpet, have a picnic and indulge in paradise.This is a scene that has been replicated where shades and greeneries are in abundance, and definitely ranks above as a national past-time.
