Wudu Dam

The Wudu Dam is a concrete gravity dam located on the Bailong River in Wudu District, Longnan City, Gansu Province, China. Its primary purpose is hydroelectric power generation, but it also provides benefits for flood control, irrigation, and navigation improvement. The dam creates a reservoir with a significant storage capacity, contributing to regional water resource management. Construction of the dam faced challenges due to the complex geological conditions of the region, including seismic activity and unstable slopes. The dam's operation has a notable impact on the river's downstream ecosystem, requiring careful monitoring and mitigation efforts to address potential environmental concerns. Specific technical specifications, such as dam height, crest length, and reservoir capacity, can vary, but are generally substantial due to the dam's scale and purpose.
