The Lizhou Dam is a arch dam currently under construction on the Muli River in Muli Tibetan Autonomous County, Sichuan Province, China. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and when complete it will support a 355 MW power station.[1][2] Water from the dam will be sent to a power station about 14.5 km (9.0 mi) to the southeast. The difference in elevation between the reservoir and power station will afford a hydraulic head (water drop) of 177 m (581 ft). Preliminary construction on the project began in 2009 and the superstructures were approved in 2011. Pouring of roller-compacted concrete for the dam began in 2012 and the power station is expected to be operational in 2015.[3][4][5]
