龍溪壩, Water management dam in Nantou County, Taiwan.
Longxi Dam is a water management structure built with reinforced concrete in Nantou County. The structure holds water behind a main barrier and releases it through controlled gates to serve the region's agriculture and households.
The structure was built in the 1980s as part of Taiwan's infrastructure expansion to secure water supply for the region. The project addressed the need to prevent flooding and support agricultural and residential water demands.
The dam functions as a gathering place for local residents who participate in seasonal water ceremonies and environmental education programs.
You can reach the structure by bus from nearby towns, which connect to the main areas around it. Observation platforms are positioned to let you see the water and the dam operations.
The structure incorporates specific engineering solutions to handle the high sediment loads characteristic of Taiwan's mountain rivers during monsoon seasons.
