Gaoping River Weir, Water control facility in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
The Gaoping River Weir spans 960 meters across the river, incorporating mobile and fixed barriers to regulate water flow for the region.
Construction of the weir began in September 1994 and was completed in October 1999, with a total cost of 3.425 billion New Taiwan dollars.
The facility maintains dedicated fish passages that support the natural migration patterns of local fish species during their spawning periods.
The weir extracts 35 cubic meters of water per second when water levels reach 16 meters, supplying drinking water to Kaohsiung's population.
This structure represents Taiwan's first domestically produced rubber dam weir system and remains the widest of its kind in the country.
