The Tash-Kumyr Hydro Power Plant is an active hydro power project on the Naryn River in Tash-Kumyr, Kyrgyzstan. It has 10 individual turbines[1] with a nominal output of around 45 MW which will deliver up to 450 MW of power. The power plant's dam is 75 m (246 ft) tall and it creates a 140,000,000 m3 (113,500 acre·ft) reservoir of which 10,000,000 m3 (8,107 acre·ft) is active (or useful) for power generation.[2]

Dam
A dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams. Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress floods but also provide water for such activities as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture, and navigability. Hydropower is often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can be evenly distributed between locations. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions.
The word dam can be traced back to Middle English, and before that, from Middle Dutch, as seen in the names of many old cities.
History
Ancient dams
Early dam building took place in Mesopotamia and the Middle East. Dams were used to control the water level, for Mesopotamia's weather affected the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and could be quite unpredictable.
The earliest known dam is the Jawa Dam in Jordan, 100 kilometres (62 mi) northeast of the capital Amman. This gravity dam featured an originally 9-metre-high (30 ft) and 1 m-wide (3.3 ft) stone wall, supported by a 50 m-wide (160 ft) earth rampart. The structure is dated to 3000 BC.
