In August 2015, Hamid Chitchian, energy minister of Iran, said that because of the water crisis in Iran and low levels of water, this dam has not produced even 1 kWh of energy in its lifetime. In 2014 the maximum water in the reservoir of the dam reached and it is estimated that this number will be even less in 2015.

The engineering division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) started construction on the Karkheh Dam in 1992 and the dam was complete in 2001.〔 During construction, 120 contractual and over eight consultative companies worked on the dam; 5,000 workers constructed the dam and 40 were killed in the process.
