About
The Great Hagi Jaffar Dam is a modern hydraulic structure located in Kukherd city within the southwestern Kukherd District of Hormozgan Province, Iran. It is a significant water management feature that underscores the contemporary efforts in regional water resource management. The dam's location in the Awe Sherino Valley basin highlights its strategic placement for managing water flow from the surrounding Zeer and Bust Gez Mountains. Although the dam itself does not reflect ancient or historical construction techniques, its presence is an important part of the ongoing development and infrastructure enhancements in this part of Iran. This structure provides insights into present-day engineering practices and water management strategies in the region.
