Embankment at Former Reservoir No. 1, Gunsan

This reservoir collects water flowing down from the foothills of Jeombangsan Mountain and Seollimsan Mountain in the centre of Gunsan. Construction began in 1912 to supply drinking water to the Gunsan area, and the reservoir was completed three years later with the mobilisation of some 100,000 workers in total. Built at a time when most local residents still drew their drinking water from wells, the reservoir's embankment, floodgate and water-level measuring tower well illustrate the standard of industrial facility construction in the early modern period.
