The Shatuo Dam is a gravity dam on the Wu River in Yanhe Country, Guizhou Province, China.
The ground-breaking ceremony for the dam was held on June 28, 2006, and excavation commenced soon thereafter. In 2008, after the original river closure, part of the dam failed due to the karst foundation, and had to be repaired. On April 19, 2009, the river was closed and the reservoir began to fill. All four generators were commissioned by 13 June 2013.[1] A vertical ship lift is planned for the dam as well, and its expected completion is in 2020.[2]
