Hongkou Dam
The Hongkou Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Huotong River located 32 km (20 mi) northwest of Ningde in Fujian Province, China. Constructed between 2003 and 2008, the dam serves to produce hydroelectricity. Its power station consists of two 100 MW Francis turbine-generators for an installed capacity of 200 MW. The 130 m (427 ft) tall dam was constructed with roller-compacted concrete and withholds a reservoir with a storage capacity of 449,700,000 m3 (364,578 acre⋅ft).[1][2]
