The Seyhan Dam [1] is a hydroelectric dam on the Seyhan River north of Adana, Turkey.
The dam was constructed in the 1950s as the first in a series of hydroelectric projects funded by the World Bank. The project was authorized by Prime Minister Adnan Menderes. The project manager was Süleyman Demirel,[2] who later became prime minister and the ninth president of Turkey.
In 1955, the Roman city of Augusta was discovered during the construction of the dam. It was partially excavated before being flooded by the dam's lake. Parts of the city are visible when the water level in the lake is low.[3]
