Kazawa Dam, Earth-fill dam in Tsumagoi, Japan.
The Kazawa Dam extends 981.8 meters across the landscape and reaches a height of 18.2 meters, forming a substantial water management structure.
The construction of Kazawa Dam in 1926 marked an important development in regional infrastructure during Japan's industrial expansion period.
The dam's integration into the local agricultural system reflects Japanese engineering practices that balance infrastructure needs with environmental considerations.
The facility maintains a storage capacity of 5,634,000 cubic meters of water, supporting irrigation systems and flood control throughout the surrounding region.
The dam's earthen construction creates a natural-looking barrier that spans 72.5 square kilometers of catchment area in Gunma Prefecture.
