Planning Report and detailed design
As a result of the design of 3 small dams in the Doğanşehir district of Malatya, it is aimed to create a projected irrigation system in agricultural lands. Since the Gövdeli and Bıçakcı Small Dams’s irrigation fields included in the package are adjacent, they have been considered as integrated and the two small dams and irrigation fields have been designed with cost-benefit optimization. Also, since the flows of the Gövdeli Dam’s own basin are not sufficient, it has been tried to fill the dam reservoir with different amounts of diversion from two different basins.
