Imnam Dam is a North Korean dam on the Bukhan River completed in 2003.Construction began in 1986. The dam was immediately seen as a threat by the South Korean government.

Though fears of a water attack have diminished 2002 satellite photos of cracks in the North Korean dam caused fears it could collapse following heavy rains.
