Mahabad Dam (Persian: سد مهاباد) is an embankment dam[4] on the Mahabad River near the city of Mahabad, West Azerbaijan province, Iran. It was built before the Islamic revolution by Yugoslavian engineers and is one of the ten largest dams in Iran. On average, the total volume of annual water input is equal to 339.304 million cubic meters.[5] The Mahabad Dam provides water for agriculture (71%), industry (11%), drinking (7%), and other miscellaneous purposes (11%).[6] The dam also has a hydroelectric power station. Construction began in 1968 and the dam was completed in 1970.[7][8]
Mahabad–Sardasht Road and Mahabad-Piranshahr Road pass along the lake.

amount of rainfall
In the Mahabad region, the amount of rainfall in higher altitudes is more than in places with lower altitudes.
Rainfall in the high places of Mahabad region is 750 mm per year, but with the decrease in altitude, the amount of rainfall decreases, so that this amount reaches 300 mm per year at the end of the northern part of Mahabad plain. During ten years, the average amount of annual rainfall is about 350 mm, which is the highest at the beginning of spring, equal to 24.79 mm, and the lowest amount of rainfall is equal to 3 mm in August.The maximum daily rainfall at the beginning of winter is 38 mm.[9]
