Ure Dam

Japanese: 宇連ダム - うれだむ
Ure Dam
A dam in Shinshiro City, Aichi Prefecture. The dam is 65 meters high. It was built in 1958 on the Ure River, a Toyokawa River system. As the main water source for the Toyokawa Irrigation Canal, it supplies agricultural, municipal, and industrial water to six cities in eastern Aichi Prefecture and western Shizuoka Prefecture. Due to low rainfall, the water storage rate was recorded at 0% twice, in January 1985 and on May 19, 2019. During the drought in 2019, part of a village that had been submerged by the dam was revealed from the bottom of Lake Horai, which became a hot topic, and visitors flocked to the site.
