Kawanabe Dam, Gravity dam in Minamikyūshū, Japan.
Kawanabe Dam is a concrete gravity dam in Minamikyūshū that stands about 54 meters tall and controls water flow across the region. It supplies water for households and industry while also helping to generate electricity and manage seasonal water variations.
The dam was completed in 2002 and became an important part of the region's water infrastructure network. Its construction addressed the need for reliable water storage and distribution across Minamikyūshū.
The dam forms part of Japan's comprehensive water management system, which supports traditional rice cultivation and maintains agricultural practices throughout the region.
You can view the dam from designated observation areas to see its structure up close. The best time to visit is during dry seasons when water levels allow for clearer views of the construction.
The structure helps prevent flooding during heavy rain seasons and maintains consistent water levels through its integrated control systems and advanced monitoring equipment.
