This is a partial listing of dams and reservoirs in Taiwan (Republic of China).
The Zengwen River is the fourth longest river in Taiwan after the Zhuoshui River, Gaoping, and Tamsui, with a total length of about 146 km (91 mi). It flows through Tainan and Chiayi County.It is located in the southwestern part of the island.
The Agongdian River is a river in Taiwan.
Ronghua Dam (Chinese: 榮華大壩; pinyin: Rónghuá Dàbà; Wade–Giles: Jung2-hua2 Ta4-pa4) is a dam crossing the Dahan River, a tributary to the Tamsui River, in Fuxing District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan.
Techi Dam is a concrete thin arch dam on the Dajia River in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan. Forming the 454 ha (1,120-acre) Techi Reservoir (德基水庫), the dam is built in the Tachien Gorge in Heping District, providing hydroelectric power, irrigation water, and some flood control, and is operated by the Taiwan Power Company. At 180 m (590 ft), it is the highest dam in Taiwan and one of the tallest dams in the world. The dam was completed in 1974 after five years of construction.
Nanhua Dam, originally named Houjie Dam (後堀水庫), is a dam across the Houku River, a tributary of the Zengwen River in southern Taiwan. Located at Nanhua District, Tainan, the dam was built to provide municipal water to Tainan and Kaohsiung City and is operated by the Taiwan Water Corporation. Construction work started in December 1988, and impoundment of the reservoir began in July 1993. A conduit to supply water from the reservoir to Kaohsiung was completed in October 1993 and the entire project was operational in March 1994.
Mingde Dam is a rockfill dam across the Laotianliao River in central Touwu Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan. The Mingde Reservoir behind the dam serves mainly for irrigation and municipal water supply for Miaoli City. The dam consists of a main embankment 35.5 metres (116 ft) high and 187 metres (614 ft) long, holding back a reservoir with a capacity of 17.1 million cubic metres. The dam and reservoir control runoff from a catchment area of 61.08 square kilometres (23.58 sq mi). A spillway located to the north of the main dam consists of a six-bay gated overflow section, with a release capacity of 1,200 cubic metres per second (42,000 cu ft/s).
Wushantou Dam is an embankment dam in Guantian District, Tainan, Taiwan. The dam was designed by Yoichi Hatta and built between 1920 and 1930 during Japanese rule to provide irrigation water for the Chianan Plain as part of the Chianan Irrigation system. Because the natural flow of the Guantian River and other local streams was insufficient for irrigation of a planned 100,000 ha, a tunnel was constructed to divert water from the Zengwen River to fill the reservoir. In 1974, the Zengwen Dam was completed on the Zengwen River shortly above the diversion tunnel, stabilizing and reducing the sediment load of water flowing into Wushantou Reservoir.
Kukuan Dam is a concrete thin arch dam on the Dajia River in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan. The dam serves for hydroelectric power generation and flood control, and is the third in a cascade of hydroelectric dams on the Dajia River, being located below the Techi and Qingshan dams and upstream from the Tienlun Dam. The dam supplies water to a power station consisting of four 45 megawatt (MW) turbines for a total capacity of 180 MW, generating 507 million kilowatt hours per year.
Tienlun Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Dajia River in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan. Built from 1952 to 1956, the dam is the fourth in a cascade of hydroelectric dams along the Dajia River, located upstream from the Ma'an Dam and downstream of the Kukuan Dam.
The Ma'an Dam is a concrete gravity barrage dam on the Dajia River in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan. The dam is the final stage in a cascade of hydroelectric power plants along the Dajia River and is located below the Tienlun Dam.
Qingshan Dam (traditional Chinese: 青山壩; simplified Chinese: 青山坝; Hanyu Pinyin: Qīngshān Bà; Tongyong Pinyin: Cingshan Bà; Wade–Giles: Ch'ing1-shan1 Pa4) is a concrete gravity forebay dam on the Dajia River in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan. The dam is the second in a cascade of hydroelectric power plants along the Dajia River, and is located directly below the Techi Dam and upstream of the Kukuan Dam. The dam was built between 1964 and 1970 and stands 45 m (148 ft) high and 100 m (330 ft) long, storing up to 600,000 m3 (490 acre⋅ft) in its reservoir.
Shihgang Dam is a concrete gravity barrage dam across the Dajia River in Shigang District and Dongshi District of Taichung, Taiwan, located near Fengyuan District. The dam was built from 1974 to 1977 for flood control and irrigation purposes, and stands 35.2 m (115 ft) high and 357 m (1,171 ft) long, holding a reservoir with an original capacity of 3,380,000 m3 (2,740 acre⋅ft).
Wujie Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Zhuoshui River in Ren'ai Township, Nantou County, Taiwan. The dam was built in two stages, from 1919–1922 and 1927–1934, and serves primarily to divert water from the Zhuoshui River to a storage reservoir at Sun Moon Lake and its associated hydroelectric projects. During the Japanese occupation of Taiwan it was known as Bukai Dam.
The Mudan Dam is a dam in Mudan Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan. It forms the largest reservoir in Pingtung County.
The Hushan Dam is a dam in Douliu City, Yunlin County, Taiwan. It is the newest dam in Taiwan.
The Yongheshan Reservoir is a reservoir in Sanwan Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan.
The Jiji Weir is a weir located in Nantou County, Taiwan. The weir is located at the border of three townships in the county, which are Jiji Township, Lugu Township and Zhushan Township.
The Xinshan Dam is a dam located in Anle District, Keelung, Taiwan. The dam supplies water to Keelung and New Taipei districts of Jinshan, Ruifang, Wanli and Xizhi Districts.
The Baihe Reservoir is a reservoir in Baihe District, Tainan, Taiwan.
