View of the top edge from the left bank
We had heard that the dam was devastated by Typhoon No. 21 that struck in 2004. We conducted our interview under cloudy skies that seemed to evoke such a past.
From the left bank, there is no change at all....
View of the dam lake from the top
The dammed lake is also quite normal.
Downstream view of the levee from the left bank
However, the downstream side looks terribly rough.
Incidentally, they were also just releasing the fish.
View of the conduit from the top edge
The water is being discharged in a smooth manner.
View of the gate from the top
The red gate is impressive, but to even see the discharge....
View of the conduit from the top edge
The amount of discharge may be quite large.
View of the right bank downstream from the top
You can see that this side of the building was quite damaged. In the center of the photo you can see what looks like a shelter, but it was probably a bicycle parking lot or something. This means that it was probably a passageway, but it is gouged out and empty.
View from the top of the building View from the top
The building, which is believed to have been the administration office, is completely dilapidated.

I would have liked to see more, but the rain was getting heavier, so I left and retreated!
