9. Nurek Dam

The Vakhsh River has five hydroelectric heads, including the Nurek Dam. Nurek Dam, the largest of the five hydroelectric heads, generates the most electricity, around MW, which accounts for about 75 percent of Tajikistan’s electricity needs.

Despite the fact that the Nurek Dam isn’t as massive as the others on this list, it is the world’s tallest levee, with a height of 300 meters (980 bases). The Vakhsh River, Tajikistan’s largest swash, is crossed by the Nurek Dam.

The Nurek Dam is utilized to irrigate 650,000 hectares of Tajikistan’s agricultural area.
