Techi Reservoir, Concrete arch dam in Heping District, Taiwan

The Techi Dam stretches 290 meters across the Dajia River, featuring a thin arch design that rises 180 meters from base to crest.

Construction of the dam began in 1969 under French engineers André Coyne and Jean Bellier, with completion achieved in 1974 by Taiwan Power Company.

President Chiang Kai-Shek named the structure Techi, meaning foundation of virtue, during the dedication ceremony following its construction.

Three turbines in the underground power station generate 234 megawatts of electricity, while the reservoir supplies irrigation water to the Daxia River valley.

The dam creates a 454-hectare reservoir that extends 14 kilometers upstream, storing over 175 million cubic meters of water.
