Hakusui Dam, Gravity dam in Taketa, Japan

The Hakusui Dam spans 86 meters across the Ono River, featuring a height of 14 meters and stone masonry construction that manages water flow.

Construction of the dam began in 1934 and reached completion in 1938, marking a period of civil engineering advancement in Japanese infrastructure development.

The Japanese government designated Hakusui Dam as a Nationally Important Cultural Property in 1999, recognizing its engineering and architectural value.

The dam provides essential water management for agricultural purposes in the Taketa region while controlling flood levels in the Ono River system.

Engineer Yasuo Ono incorporated a 90-degree water turn mechanism on the levee to reduce downstream impact, addressing the fragile ground conditions.
