The paper discusses the investigations into the Khersan 3 Dam site in the Zagros Zone, southern Iran, where the Rig, Shorom and Laki Anticlines meet. The Asmari Limestone is the main aquifer system in the area of the dam site and its reservoir. Marly bands within the Lower Asmari Unit create three confined sub-aquifers under artesian pressure overlain by one unconfined sub-aquifer. The impounded water will be in direct contact with the Asmari Limestone hence leakage may occur through existing karst features. As the recharge zone of the artesian sub-aquifers is higher than the normal water level in the reservoir, no direct leakage through the artesian sub-aquifers is anticipated. However, when the water head in the unconfined sub-aquifer rises with the construction of the dam, leakage may occur and further karstification develop.
