Andong Dam, Embankment dam and hydroelectric power station in Andong, South Korea.
The Andong Dam spans 612 meters across the Nakdong River, featuring two reversible turbines that generate electricity through pumped storage technology.
The Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power organization initiated the construction of Andong Dam in 1971, completing the infrastructure project in 1976.
The dam near Gyeongsangbuk-do province creates a 60-square-kilometer reservoir that supports local fishing activities and water-based traditions.
Visitors can access information about dam operations and water management at the site, which maintains a total capacity of 1,248,000,000 cubic meters.
The power station contains two 45-megawatt turbines that reverse direction to pump water uphill during low demand periods for later energy generation.
