The Kambaraty hydroelectric scheme, currently in the design stage, comprises a homogeneous dam, two head-race tunnels, an underground power station, and two discharge tunnels. The site area extends some 4-5 km. The Naryn River here makes a sharp bend.The river valley has a somewhat asymmetric cross section, with steep banks which flatten out in the upper part of the slopes.A narrow gorge 30-60 m deep is cut into the valley floor. The abutments reach heights of 800-900 m (right bank) and 1100-1200 m (left bank) above the valley floor. The valley width above the gorge varies from 60 to 150 m, reaching 750-950 m at the dam crest level. The area is distinguished by deep dissection and considerable steepness of the exposed slopes.
