Sup'ung Dam

The Sup'ung Dam (traditional Chinese: 水豐水庫; simplified Chinese: 水丰水库; Korean: 수풍댐(水豊댐)), also referred to as the Shuifeng Dam and originally the Suihō Dam, is a gravity dam on the Yalu River between Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province in China and Sakju County, North Pyongan Province in North Korea. The reservoir is called Supung Lake. The dam was constructed by the Japanese between 1937 and 1943 in order to generate electricity and has been repaired and renovated several times throughout the years, mainly due to damage from the Korean War and spillway damage from flooding.
