The Burqin Shankou Dam (Chinese: 布尔津山口水利枢纽工程; pinyin: Bù'ěrjīn Shānkǒu shuǐlì shūniǔ gōngchéng) is an arch dam in Burqin County of Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China.

[1] In September 2014 the last of the concrete was poured on the dam and it began to impound its reservoir.

As of Oct 2013, the Google Maps satellite view (probably a year or more old) shows the construction site, with a small coffer dam a bit upstream of the point where the permanent dam is being built.

The dam is estimated to produce an equal amount of electricity that is currently generated by the thermal plants using fossil-fuels.

The first stage of the so-called Project for Bringing Western Water to the East (西水东引一期工程) calls for the construction of a canal from the Burqin Shankou Reservoir to the Project 635 Reservoir on the Irtysh[5] which is located over 100 km upstream from Burqin Town, and which is the source of water for the Irtysh–Karamay–Ürümqi Canal.
