Tuoshan Weir, Ancient water management structure in Haishu District, China
The Tuoshan Weir stretches 110 meters across the Yinjiang River, featuring a stone construction with iron reinforcements and a 5-meter-wide crest.
Wang Yuanwei initiated the construction of Tuoshan Weir in 833 during the Tang Dynasty to address flooding and saltwater intrusion in the Fenghua River.
A memorial temple near the weir displays statues of Wang Yuanwei and ten other builders, serving as a location for traditional ceremonies.
The weir system manages water distribution for 240,000 mu of agricultural land across seven townships while preventing saltwater from entering the freshwater supply.
The structure employs a specialized design with a 4-meter-thick center that gradually narrows toward the edges, ensuring long-term structural stability.
