dams with height more than 60 m. 3 Large dams are under the construction
Mainly of Dams are used for Irrigation. 2 large dams are used for water supply and
10 of them are used for Hydroenergy.

development for design,
construction, operatiopn and
maintenance of large dams. To
National Secretariat of Large
Technical Inspectorate of Dams approve the criteria for design
Dams (TID)
(NSLD)

situation of the dams
To fulfill the obligations arising

from its membership in ICOLD

Protection Measures against Erosion phenomens and sediments coming in three artificial lakes of Drini
Cascade
Preparation of new Hydrological model for Drini Basin and Installation of new modern Hydro
meteorological systems in Drini River.
Providing of safe flood management and Increase of discharges capacities in Drini Cascade
Rehabilitation of 20 large irrigation dams and their infrastructure
Installation of Monitoring systems for 10 Hydroenergy Dams
Implementation of new Bathimetry survey and preparation of new Volume Curves in 5 Artifical lakes
for hydroenergy on Drini and Mati river
Risk Analayse Study and Preparation of Emergency plans for 5 dams of Drini Cascade and 2 Dams of
Mati cascade and Banja Dam on Devolli River.

Construction of Banja Dam on Devolli River with height H=80 m. This dam will
have multipurpose using for Hydro-Energy, Irrigation and Transport
Construction of Moglica Dam on Devolli River with height H = 150 m. This is the
first very large dam in Albania with asphalt diafragm. It will be the highest dam
with asphalt diafragm in Europe
Construction of Fangu Dam on Fani River with Height H = 92 m. This dam is

rockfill dam with concrete face
Construction of Okshtun Dam on Okshtuni river, branch Black Drini river with
height H = 64 m. This is the first large dam in Albania with RCC
Construction of Bovill Dam on Terkuza river with Height H = 60 m. This is first

dam in Albania with geomembrane. It is used for Water supply and irrigation

Referred the National Program of Water Sector, the main measures are:

II. Adaption of legal frameworks and Technical Standarts with EU Directives and ICOLD Reccomendation
III. Strengthening of management and Control and Monitoring institutions
IV. Strengthening of Research and Development insitutions
V. Modernization of Monitoring Systems of very large dams in Hydroenergy and installation of data transfer system in real
time and online
VI. Installation of Monitoring Systems and improvement of Monitoring process for Irrigation dams and their infrastructure
VII. Preparation of Studies on Risk Analyses of large dams;
VIII. Preperation and Implementation of new Emergenecy Plans for all very large dams with highest risks
IX. Installation of Alarm system in Hydroenergy dams with high risks.
X. Investments for Rehabilitation and Improvement of very large existing Dams.
