HISTORY OF ÇUBUK 1 DAM AND ATATÜRK KÖŞKÜ
The Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk planned to build a dam in Ankara and its surroundings to eliminate drought, great fires and water shortages; Accordingly, it was decided to build a dam on a strait on Çubuk Stream Valley, 12 km north of the city, and the first survey studies started in 1926.
The first concrete foundation of the dam, the project of which was completed in 1928 and the tender was realized in 1929, was laid in 1932 with the efforts of Turkish engineers and workers, and the dam was put into service in 1936. The Lake Casino, designed by the French architect Théodore Leveau, was built between 1937-1938 in the dam area, which was opened despite great financial difficulties; In the same years, a mansion was built by Atatürk on the dam ridges and the surrounding of the dam was afforested. Thus, Çubuk 1 Dam has turned into a symbol of abundance, entertainment and recreation area for Ankara residents for many years. Due to the pollution of Çubuk Stream and the filling of the dam basin with alluvium, the water accumulation in the dam has been stopped since 1994, and with the demolition of several facilities, including the lake casino, the dam lost its value for the use of the people of Ankara.
