直潭堰

The Zhitan Dam stretches 360 meters across the Dahan River, creating a substantial water reservoir that supplies water to northern Taiwan's population.

Construction of the dam occurred between 1955 and 1964, requiring the relocation of 2,000 residents from the Dahan River valley for the infrastructure project.

The dam's development marked a turning point for agricultural practices in Taoyuan City, enabling farmers to increase their annual rice production through improved irrigation.

The reservoir supplies drinking water to three million residents while generating hydroelectric power and maintaining flood control mechanisms for the surrounding regions.

Environmental engineers regularly conduct sediment management operations at the dam, implementing specialized techniques to maintain water storage capacity and quality.
