Washi Dam, Hydroelectric dam in Ono, Japan.
The Washi Dam rises 45 meters above the Kuzuryu River, combining arch and gravity dam engineering principles to manage water flow and generate electricity.
Construction of the Washi Dam commenced in 1957, and the structure became operational in 1968 under the management of the Electric Power Development Company.
The dam infrastructure represents a milestone in Japanese engineering, demonstrating the nation's commitment to sustainable power generation through hydroelectric facilities.
The dam creates a reservoir with a capacity of 9,650,000 cubic meters and connects to the Yujo Power Station, which generates 54,000 kilowatts of electricity.
The facility functions as part of a pumped-storage system alongside Nagano Power Station and Kuzuryu Dam, enhancing regional power distribution capabilities.
