| Description: |
The Cheow Lan is a rock with fat clay core methodology used to
construct the dam. This hydro electric dam on the Phra Saeng
River was built in 1982 and the resulting reservoir (lake)
covers an area of 185 square kilometers. The dam (rock) is 94 meters in height and 760 meters in length. As a result of the dam, a lot of pristine lowland forest area in the district was flooded. However this means that the remaining forest is mostly comprised of craggy limestone cliffs, mountainous terrain, and swift flowing streams. |
