Tushmanlu offstream reservoir gravity dam
Introduction
Tushmanlu is famous for its apple. Most of the farmers in Tushmanlu produce high quality apples.
Old Tushmanlu offstream reservoir gravity dam was constructed
around the village of Tushmanlu in northern part of Mianeh,
East Azerbaijan early after Islamic revolution of Iran in
1357 Iranian year. Regarding the high quality of soil and
water and proper weather condition, the best quality of
gardens crops has persuaded farmers to develop the area
of their gardens. On the other hand, because of the poor
design and construction of the traditional existing dam,
studies of building a higher and more stable dam instead
of old dam started by Pars Ray Ab Consulting Engineering Company in 1379 Iranian year.
