Matanoagawa Dam, Gravity dam in Tottori Prefecture, Japan

The Matanoagawa Dam stretches 185 meters across a tributary of the Hino River, rising 69.3 meters high with a reservoir capacity of 7.9 million cubic meters.

The construction of this concrete structure began in 1978 and reached completion in 1984, marking a new chapter in regional infrastructure development.

The facility demonstrates Japanese engineering excellence through its integration with the Matanogawa Pumped Storage Power Station, featuring four Francis pump-turbine generators.

During periods of high energy demand, water flows from Doyo Dam to generate power, while excess electricity enables water pumping back for storage.

The reservoir system connects with Doyo Dam located 6 kilometers southeast in Okayama Prefecture, creating an interconnected water management network.
