The Tokuyama Dam is a 427.1 m (1,401 ft) long and 161 m (528 ft) high rock-fill embankment dam with a clay core. The total structural volume of the dam is 13,700,000 m3 (480,000,000 cu ft). The dam creates a reservoir with a 660,000,000 m3 (2.3×1010 cu ft) capacity, surface area of 13 km2 (5.0 sq mi) and catchment area of 254.5 km2 (98.3 sq mi). The dam's power station will contain two turbine generators, one with a 130 MW capacity and another with a 23 MW capacity for a total of 153 MW. The power station will process a maximum of 100 m3/s (3,500 cu ft/s) for power production. The power station is expected to be operational in 2014.

Famous quotes containing the word design:
“I begin with a design for a hearse.
For Christ’s sake not black—
nor white either—and not polished!
Let it be weathered—like a farm wagon—”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“For I choose that my remembrances of him should be pleasing, affecting, religious. I will love him as a glorified friend, after the free way of friendship, and not pay him a stiff sign of respect, as men do to those whom they fear. A passage read from his discourses, a moving provocation to works like his, any act or meeting which tends to awaken a pure thought, a flow of love, an original design of virtue, I call a worthy, a true commemoration.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Teaching is the perpetual end and office of all things. Teaching, instruction is the main design that shines through the sky and earth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
