Английская Википедия:Daecheong Dam
Шаблон:Infobox dam The Daecheong Dam is a combination concrete gravity (made of concrete) and embankment dam (made of earth) on the Geum River, Шаблон:Convert north of Daejeon in South Korea. The multi-purpose dam provides benefits of flood control, water supply and hydroelectric power generation. Construction on the dam began in 1975 and was formally commissioned on 1 December 1980. The Шаблон:Convert high rock-fill dam has a central clay core and has created a reservoir with storage of Шаблон:Convert.[1][2]
The reservoir is operated by the Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-water) for flood control, hydro-power generation and water supply.[3]
Geography
The dam is built on the Geum River, also spelled Keum River or Geumgang River, which is the longest river in the central part of South Korea.[4] The downstream stretch of the river up to the estuary is Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn The dam drains a catchment area of Шаблон:Convert. The land use pattern of the watershed is 74.5% of forest and hilly area, 16.3% of agricultural land of paddy and other crops, and 9.2% of urban area.[5] The river is joined by five major tributaries and exhibits a dendritic (in the form of branches of a tree) drainage pattern. The catchment receives an annual average rainfall of Шаблон:Convert of which more than 50% is recorded during the summer months from July to September, and many episodic (infrequent) events of more than Шаблон:Convert have been recorded in a day. The hydrology of the project is thus influenced by the seasonal monsoon climate.[5]Шаблон:Sfn There is scenic road on the entire periphery of the lake where Hyeonamsa Temple, and Munuihyanggyo Confucian School are located.[4]
Features
The multipurpose Daecheong Dam completed in 1980 is Шаблон:Convert in height, Шаблон:Convert long and has a gross reservoir capacity of 1.49 million cubic meters. The reservoir water surface area is Шаблон:Convert. It has three saddle dams on the reservoir periphery to prevent spilling of water. Following the building of the dam flood damage in the downstream reaches has been substantially prevented and salinity of the downstream land has also reduced. The annual inflow into the reservoir is 2,451 million cubic meter. The effective storage (live storage) created by the dam is 790 million cubic meter. The mean depth of water is Шаблон:Convert with a mean residence time of 180 days. The High Flood Level (HFL) of the reservoir is EL 80 m and the Full Reservoir Level (FRL) is EL 76.5 m.[3][1] An upstream dam on the upper basin of Geum River, about Шаблон:Convert upstream, reduces the flow intensity and also the inflow into the reservoir.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
The water supply from the reservoir is provided to Chungcheong, Daejeon, Cheongju, Jeollabuk-do areas which include Gunsan, Jeonju, and Iksan. The dam has hydro power facility with installed capacity of 90 MW and the annual power generation is around 240 million kWh.[4][6]
Nutrient loading (contribution to Eutrophication) of the reservoir has occurred due to agricultural flows and from livestock farms in the catchment. It is classified as meso-stratified (influenced by biotic and abiotic factors).Шаблон:Sfn
Organic matter loading (contributed by plants and animals causing changes in the chemical oxygen demand ( COD, a measure of the amount of organic compounds in water), Mn (manganese)) in the lake is about 78.3% during heavy rainfall season, from June to September.[5]
Daecheong Dam Water Culture Center
On the bank of the reservoir, a water-themed cultural museum called the Daecheong Dam Water Culture Center was established on 6 July 2004. It has three exhibition halls which display information on the dam, uses of water, environmental features of the area around on the Geumgang River also on the aspect of cultural aspects of the villages which were submerged by the reservoir and about people living on its periphery. The center also has a theater, information center, and an observatory.[4][7]
