- Nampo_Dam abstract "The Nampho Dam or West Sea Dam, also known as the West Sea Barrage, is a barrage located 15 km west of the special city of Nampho, North Korea. It is a huge, eight-kilometer-long system of dams, three lock chambers, and 36 sluices, allowing the passage of ships up to 50,000 tons. The dam closes the Taedong River off from the Yellow Sea. It was built from 1981 to 1986, with the resources of the whole country directed to this main construction project. The stated goal of the West Sea Dam was: The raising of the water level in the Taedong River and increased ship traffic;[citation needed] The prevention of seawater intrusion into the fresh water, thus solving the water supply problem;[citation needed] The irrigation of additional land, enlarging the arable territory of the region.Foreign critics claim raising the Taedong river level has led to the loss of valuable farmland, contributing to North Korean famine.Tourists are to be reminded that filming or even photos of the Barrage is seen as a capital offence and you WILL be thrown into jail, as warned in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HJj85K_7MQThe dam is considered a major accomplishment of North Korea, and is a commonly seen backdrop for North Korean television news broadcasts from Korean Central News Agency.It is also a typical stop for tour groups of international tourists, for whom there is a visitor center on P'i Do island.
