Water Resources Ecological Education Center Introduction
The Feitsui Reservoir is the first large arch dam in Taiwan that was designed and built by locals using a double-curved, variable thickness concrete structure. The dam is 122.5 meters high and its reservoir capacity is second only to the Zengwen Reservoir. Construction began in 1979 and was completed in 1987. It primarily supplies tap water to the Taipei area and also serves power generation purposes. The reservoir is not open for tourism and recreational activities in order to protect water source quality; fishing and water activities are prohibited in the reservoir area.
