The Al-Wehdah dam project is located on the Wadi Yarmouk river in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The RCC dam was constructed under the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Jordan Valley Authority. Investigated initially as a water conservation and irrigation scheme in the early 1950s, Al Wehdah is now a multipurpose project to include potential future power development for neighbouring Syria. Funding is being provided by the Government of Jordan, The Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, and the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development.
The Ralco dam project was conceived as part of a cascade of hydro power development on the raging Bio Bio river in Central Chile. When completed in October 2003, Ralco was the second tallest RCC dam in the world with only Miel I in Columbia being taller at 188m from the dam foundation to the crest elevation. It should be noted, however,
The Ralco dam project was conceived as part of a cascade of hydro power development on the raging Bio Bio river in Central Chile. When completed in October 2003, Ralco was the second tallest RCC dam in the world with only Miel I in Columbia being taller at 188m from the dam foundation to the crest elevation. It should be noted, however, that Ralco was completed in similar conditions to Miel I but at a considerably faster rate of construction and in extreme conditions. These not only included challenging and difficult construction access but other considerations such as local and international environmental opposition; acts of vandalism and sabotage; social, economic and engineering challenges; forest fires; and five flood events with three overtopping the RCC construction works. All were mitigated in an amicable and successful manner in the end to ultimately complete the project and supplement the national grid in Chile.

Yeywa is a 790MW hydro power project. It is located on Myintnge river/basin in Shan, Myanmar. The project is currently active. It has been developed in single phase. The project construction commenced in 2005 and subsequently entered into commercial operation in 2010.
Yeywa is a reservoir based project. The hydro reservoir capacity is 2,600 million cubic meter. The gross head of the project is 197m. The total number of penstocks, pipes or long channels that carry water down from the hydroelectric reservoir to the turbines inside the actual power station, are 4 in number. The project generated 3,550 GWh of electricity.
