Description: |
|
Kiritarn Dam is located at Chandraburi province. It was built by
Energy Enhance Development department, a branch of Ministry of
Science, Technology, and Environment. This dam is a multi
tasking dam serving as a power plant and a water reserve. The
dam is also used as a fishing spot for villagers around this
part. Kiritarn dam is an earth dam, 33 meters high. Its water
covers the area of Huay Sapanhin area for 30 kilometers long.
Average water in this reserve is about 76 million cubic meters
in each year. There is also an aqueduct to the south-eastern
side to Huay Tubnakorn canal which is a branch of Chandraburi
River. The pressure from this aqueduct makes the water level
between the dam and the canal 125 meters high. The electric
generator was installed here and can generate 12,200 kilowatts
of electricity which is 27 million kilowatts each year. The
water that passed the generator will flow down to Chandraburi
River and can be used in agricultural activities and consumption
in everyday life. Furthermore, he water can also reduce salt in
Chandraburi River. The signature of this dam is that it is
located at 205 meters height from average sea level. The area
around the dam has lush and beautiful groves which is really
great for visitors to travel and observe the beauty of nature
here. Along the reserve banks are herbs and spices, such as
Malva nuts (the tree of Chandraburi), and Anan herbs. When the
water level recedes, visitors can set up camp around the banks
of the dam and bask in nature’s beauty. Kiritarn Dam is the
main water source for agricultural activities. The dam lacks
facilities for tourists and visitors, but the scenery here will
make everyone fall in love with this place. Kiritarn Dam is
located at Makham district and it is 40 kilometers far from
Chandraburi city. To get there, take route 317 for about 20
kilometers until you see the sign pointing to the dam direction.
Turn right and then continue to the Kiritarn dam for about 14
kilometers. |
