The Damsa Dam is a dam in Nevşehir, Turkey. Its development was backed by the Turkish State Hydraulic Works. It was built on the stream of the same name (the Damsa Stream), for irrigation purposes.[1] The dam is vitally important to the region, as it is a source of drinking water, and contains a large amount of fish species.[1]
