Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has inaugurated two major projects including a reservoir dam and a cement factory in Iran's northwestern province of West Azarbaijan.
Iran's Energy Minister Majid Namjou and Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Mehdi Ghazanfari attended the inaugural ceremony of the national projects on Monday, IRNA reported.
Agh Chai is Iran's biggest arch earth filled dam which has been built by the Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base at the cost of about USD 150 million.
The 826 meter-high dam has the capacity of storing 180 million cubic meters of water.
President Ahmadinejad also inaugurated the second phase of Orumiyeh cement factory through video link from the venue of the dam inauguration.
The factory will produce two million tons of cement every year.
The annual capacity of cement production in West Azarbaijan will reach three million tons following the inauguration of the factory.

The major root cause of the deterioration of Lake Urumiyeh has been construction, building of dams and ineffective irrigation.
