Capable of holding approximately 15,000 cubic meters of water...
The virtual calculator sez that's about 38 x 38 x 10, and the cube root is 24.6621207433.

What were the Hittite's famous for doing in biblical times? Didn't they have some kind of sacrifices or something?

Thanks for the post.

I hope they are able to clean out the reservoir to increase the holding capacity.

"After a drought Anatolia suffered in 1200 B.C., Tudhaliya IV imported wheat from Egypt so that his subjects would not suffer a famine. Following this, the king ordered numerous dams to be built in central Anatolia, in 1240 B.C.["]

The problem with this timeline is that if the drought happened in 1200BC and the dams were build in 1240BC, the dams were built 40 years BEFORE the drought.
