The Jilebulake Dam is a concrete-face rock-fill dam on the Haba River, a tributary of the Irtysh, in Habahe County of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supports a 160 MW power station. Construction on the 146.3m (480feet) tall dam began in 2009 and its reservoir began to fill in November 2013.[1] [2] [3] During filling, on November 17, the diversion tunnel gate failed and the water inside the reservoir rushed downstream. Locals downstream were evacuated and there was no loss of life.[4] The Shankou Dam just downstream was able to control much of the flooding.[5]
