The Deji Dam ( Chinese 德基 水庫 ) is located on the Dajia River in central Taiwan . The name can also be found written as "Tehchi" or "Tachien". The reservoir was created between 1969 and 1974. At 1408 m above sea level , it is said to be the highest reservoir in Asia.
Deji Reservoir is located at the foot of Li Mountain ( 梨山 , Líshān ) in the Heping District of Taichung City in a very scenic area. It is the top of several reservoirs on Dajia. The Shigang Dam , which became famous when it was destroyed in the 1999 Jiji earthquake, is located on this river .
The storage space of Deji Reservoir is three times the size of that of Sun Moon Lake , the largest natural lake in Taiwan. The dam has a 181 m high arch dam as a barrier structure . The arch dam has a hyperbolic curve and is 285 meters long.
The resulting reservoir is 14 kilometers long and has an area of 453 hectares when fully blocked . The total storage volume was quantified in November 2014 with 194,687,000 m³ (0.195 km³) and the effective storage volume with 148,754,000 m³ (figures according to the Taiwanese authority for water resources).
