Iran - Reza Shah Dam


Iran - Reza Shah Dam (1963)


Reza Shah Dam is one of hydro dams in Iran. The dam construction was completed in 1963 and the occasion was marked by issuing of a commemorative stamp. The dam is situated in Khuzestan and is now renamed as Dez Dam. Picture of Dez Dam is available here - the photo is very clear. Dez Dam (or Reza Shah Dam) is recognized as one of the highest dam in the world (ie., 203 meter high) - read here.


In 1977 another stamp was issued depicting the same - Reza Shah Great Dam. But the purpose of issuing such stamp is not clear.
