The Rabigh Dam is a gravity dam on Wadi Rabigh about 35 km (22 mi) east of Rabigh in Makkah Province of western Saudi Arabia. The dam has many purposes to include flood control, municipal water supply and groundwater recharge. Water from the dam's reservoir is treated before being supplied to Rabigh.
