Banan Weir, Concrete gravity weir in Yanping Township, Taiwan

The Banan Weir extends 71 meters in length and reaches a height of 21 meters, with a crest elevation of 213.4 meters above sea level.

Construction of the Banan Weir began in 1977 and concluded in 1987, following earlier Japanese colonial period plans for water management in the region.

The weir represents Taiwan's engineering advancement in water resource management, supporting local agricultural communities through controlled water distribution systems.

The structure controls water flow from the Luye River, providing essential irrigation resources to agricultural lands in the Taitung region.

In 2014, the weir underwent substantial reconstruction after experiencing severe damage from Typhoon Matmo, incorporating steel fiber concrete technology for enhanced durability.
