巴陵壩

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.

Did you know?

The facility uses advanced sensors to monitor water levels and weather patterns in real time. This technology allows operators to respond quickly to changing conditions and maintain safe operations.
