巴陵壩, Hydroelectric dam in Taoyuan City, Taiwan.
Description
Baling Dam is a concrete structure that spans the Dahan River and controls water flow for flood prevention and regional water supply. The facility includes a large reservoir that stores water for agricultural use and drinking water needs across the surrounding area.
History
Baling Dam was completed in 2000 and represented a major advance in Taiwan's water management capabilities. The project was developed to address flooding risks and improve water security for the region.
Culture
The reservoir plays an important role in how local communities manage and think about water resources in their daily lives. Visitors can observe how the area depends on this water supply for farming and local activities.
Practical
The dam is most active during typhoon season when water control is critical to prevent flooding. Water levels vary considerably depending on the season and rainfall, so conditions can change significantly throughout the year.
