Description
Toyofusa Dam is a concrete gravity dam built across the landscape, standing about 38 meters tall and relying on its weight to hold back water pressure. The structure creates a reservoir that supplies water for irrigation and regional needs.
History
The dam was constructed in 1967 as part of a regional plan to improve water management across the area. This development responded to the local community's need for reliable water supply for farming and other purposes.
