Wushe Dam (Chinese: 霧社壩; pinyin: Wùshè Bà) is a gravity dam forming Wushe Reservoir (霧社水庫; Wùshè Shuǐkù), also called Wanda Reservoir (萬大水庫; Wàndà Shuǐkù) and Bihu (碧湖; Bìhú), on the Wushe Creek (霧社溪; Wùshè Xī), a tributary of the Zhuoshui River, located in Ren-ai Township, Nantou County, Taiwan. The dam was completed in 1960 after seven years of construction, and serves mainly to generate hydroelectric power.
