Sarutani Dam, Gravity dam in Gojō, Japan
The concrete structure of Sarutani Dam stretches 170 meters across the Kumano River while reaching a height of 74 meters above the riverbed.
Construction workers and engineers from Nishimatsu Construction Company completed the dam infrastructure project in 1957 after seven years of intensive work.
The dam functions as a central element in the water management system of Nara Prefecture, supporting agricultural practices and local community development.
Visitors can observe the dam's operations through an online webcam system that monitors water levels and provides real-time information about the reservoir conditions.
The reservoir created by Sarutani Dam covers 100 hectares and maintains a capacity of 23,300 thousand cubic meters of water from a 214.9 square kilometer catchment area.
