Hwanggang Dam (Шаблон:Lang-ko) is a hydroelectric dam on the Imjin River in Tosan County, North Korea. Located approximately Шаблон:Convert north of the Korean Demilitarized Zone, the dam has an estimated capacity of Шаблон:Convert.[1] Construction began in 2002 and was completed in 2007.[2] The stated aims of the project are to generate hydropower and provide water for crop irrigation.[1][3]

However it is also widely thought that the dam is to protect against the perceived North Korea / South Korea threat. South Korea also built two of its own dams in the area in the early 2010s.[3]

Flooding

In September 2009, without warning, North Korea released a massive amount of water from the dam, causing large floods in South Korea which killed a total of six people.[1] An estimated Шаблон:Convert of water was dumped during the flood, causing the water level at the border of Gyeonggi-do to leap from Шаблон:Convert to Шаблон:Convert.[1][3]
