Baise Dam
The Baise Dam is a gravity dam on the You River located 16 km (10 mi) west of Baise City in Guangxi, China. The dam was constructed between 2000 and 2006. The 130 m (427 ft) tall dam was constructed with roller-compacted concrete and creates a 5,660,000,000 m3 (4,588,637 acre⋅ft) reservoir. The dam's power station contains four 135 MW Francis turbine generators for a total installed capacity of 540 MW and average annual generation of 1,690 GWh.[1][2][3]
