Giz Galasi Dam (Azerbaijani: Qız Qalası SES, Persian: سد قیز قلعهسی) is an embankment dam on the Aras River straddling the international border between Azerbaijan and Iran.[2] It is located in Jabrayil District, Azerbaijan, and Khoda Afarin County, East Azerbaijan Province, Iran, 12 km (7.5 mi) downstream of the Khoda Afarin Dam.[1] Built both to generate electricity and to irrigate the plains in the region, it is the third joint Azerbaijan–Iran project on the Aras River.[3] The Giz Galasi Reservoir will provide 12,000 hectares (30,000 acres) of land with water.[4]
