2. Shihmen Dam across the Dahan Creek in northern Taoyuan
County, Taiwan. The dam's main purposes are water supply, flood
control and hydroelectricity generation, and it holds the Shihmen
Reservoir, Taiwan's third largest reservoir and artificial lake.
Completed in 1964, the dam and reservoir now supply water to more
than three million people in northern Taiwan. However,
sedimentation issues have impacted and continue to threaten safe
dam operations. 1964 Photo from www
