The Keban Dam (Turkish: Keban Barajı) is a hydroelectric dam on the Euphrates, located in the Elazığ Province of Turkey. The dam was the first and most upstream of several large-scale dams to be built on the Euphrates by Turkey. Although the Keban Dam was not originally constructed as a part of the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP), it is now a fully integrated component of the project, which aims to stimulate economic development in Southeastern Turkey. Construction of the dam commenced in 1966 and was completed in 1974. Keban Dam Lake (Turkish: Keban Baraj Gölü), the reservoir created by Keban Dam, has a surface area of 675 km2 and is reputedly the fourth-largest lake in Turkey after Lake Van, Lake Tuz, and the reservoir created by the Atatürk Dam.The Keban Dam is a combined rockfill and concrete gravity hydroelectric dam operated by the State Hydraulic Works (DSİ). The dam is 1097 m long and its crest is 207 m above the level of the river-bed (848 m above sea-level). Its eight water turbines are capable of producing 1,330 MW. The storage capacity of Lake Keban is 30.6 km3 and the surface area of the lake is 675 km2, although the lake has reportedly reached higher levels in the past.Due to Lake Keban's relatively high elevation at 845 m above sea-level and its location in an area with high precipitation, evaporation is relatively low at 0.48 km3/year compared to reservoirs in Syria or Iraq. Apart from the Euphrates Valley directly upstream of the dam, the lake has also flooded parts of valleys of the Murat River and the Karasu, the two rivers from which the Euphrates emerges. Although the dam was not originally intended for irrigation, 63,872 ha of agricultural land was irrigated from Lake Keban in 1999.

Travertine rock formations build up over time from the dripping and evaporation of mineral laden water. Eventually the travertine forms into stalactites and shallow caves. Tonto Natural Bridge is believed to be the largest natural travertine bridge in the world. It stands over a 400-foot-long tunnel that is 150 feet wide and 183 feet high. The volume of rock in the bridge is estimated to be 200 million cubic feet. The bridge is the result of water laden with calcium carbonate from perennial springs that have dripped for thousands of years. The natural bridge was discovered by Scotsman David Gowan in 1877. Gowan persuaded his family to emigrate and move to the location where they built a lodge in 1927. They lived there until 1948 when the land and building were sold to Pine native Glen Randall. In 1967 Randall’s widow sold the property and eventually it became a State Park. The lodge is still standing and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Tonto Natural Bridge State Park is near Pine, Arizona, USA.
