Shihgang Dam, Gravity dam in Shigang District, Taichung, Taiwan
The Shihgang Dam extends 352 meters across the Dajia River with a height of 25 meters and creates a reservoir holding 3,380,000 cubic meters of water.
The northern section of Shihgang Dam collapsed during the 1999 Jiji earthquake, leading to the construction of an embankment cofferdam to control water flow.
The damaged section of the dam remains preserved as a memorial, representing the impact of natural forces on infrastructure in Taiwan.
The dam maintains water resources for agricultural needs in the region through a spillway system that manages 13,000 cubic meters per second.
Engineers incorporated drum gates into the spillway design, enabling precise control of water discharge from the Shihgang reservoir throughout different seasons.
