甲仙攔河堰, Water management facility in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

The Jiaxian Weir extends 120 meters across the Chishan River, featuring three fixed wheel gates and a concrete vertical overflow spillway.

Construction of the Jiaxian Weir began in June 1994 and concluded in June 1999, with a total investment of 2.78 billion New Taiwan dollars.

The dam supports local farming communities through irrigation systems and water management, forming an integral part of regional agricultural practices.

The Water Resources Agency manages the facility, which channels water from Chishan Creek to Nanhua Reservoir through a cross-basin water transfer system.

During Typhoon Morakot in 2009, the weir sustained substantial damage when an upstream landslide dam burst, leading to complete reconstruction in 2010.
