The '''Sır Dam''' is an [[arch dam]] on the [[Ceyhan River]] in [[Kahramanmaraş Province]] of southern [[Turkey]]. There is a [[hydroelectric power]] plant, established in 1991, at the dam, with a power output of 285 MW.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sir Dam|url=http://www2.dsi.gov.tr/baraj/detayeng.cfm?BarajID=142|publisher=State Hydraulic Works|access-date=25 November 2011}}</ref>
==Involuntary Resettlement==
According to Terminski (2013), the construction of the dam resulted in involuntary resettlement of approximately 45,000 people.<ref>Bogumil Terminski, (2013). ''Development-Induced Displacement and Resettlement: Theoretical Frameworks and Current Challenges'', Geneva, 2013.</ref>
