The GAP is comprised of 13 subprojects (6 on the Tigris and seven on the Euphra-tes), and includes the construction of 21 dams and 19 hydroelectric plants. One large dam is worth a special mention – the Atatürk. The project will enable the irrigation of approximately 1.7 million ha of the 3.5 million hectares suitable for crop-growing in southeast Turkey (figure 15). http://revista.ieee.es/index.php/ieee
