The Kouhrang 3 Dam is an arch dam currently under construction on the Kouhrang River in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran. It is located about 12 km (7.5 mi) northwest of Dashtak. The purpose of the dam is water supply and river regulation. Upstream of the dam will be the intake for the 23 km (14 mi) Kouhrang 3 Tunnel which will transfer water northeast to the Zayandeh River for use in major cities like Isfahan.[2][3] Sabir Co. was awarded the contract for the dam's construction in February 2011 and construction began that same year.[4] The diversion tunnels for the dam were completed in March 2013. The project is scheduled for completed in 2015.[5]
