Kawachi Dam, Civil engineering heritage gravity dam in Yahatahigashi-ku, Japan

The Kawachi Dam extends 189 meters in length and rises 44.1 meters high, creating a reservoir with a capacity of 7 million cubic meters.

The construction of Kawachi Dam began in 1919 and reached completion in 1927, marking a period of infrastructure development for local steel manufacturing.
