Danjiangkou Dam, Concrete gravity dam and hydroelectric power station on Han River near Danjiangkou, China
The Danjiangkou Dam spans 2,494 meters across the Han River, featuring six turbine generators that produce 900 megawatts of electrical power.
Construction of the initial dam structure occurred between 1958 and 1973, followed by height modifications from 2005 to 2009 to expand reservoir capacity.
The dam formation created the Danjiangkou Reservoir, which transformed the agricultural practices and water management systems of the surrounding communities.
The power station operates with six individual turbine generators, each contributing 150 megawatts to the regional electrical grid system.
The dam elevation increased from 162 meters to 176.6 meters, expanding the reservoir capacity to 29,050,000,000 cubic meters for water transfer purposes.
