The Peace Dam (평화의 댐) is a South Korean dam on the Bukhan River. It was built to stave off possible catastrophic flooding should the upstream Imnam Dam in North Korea collapse either intentionally or by accident. The dam was completed in 2005. As it stands the dam has no reservoir and is merely preventive. Construction began in 1987 in reaction to a perceived threat following the construction of the Imnam Dam by North Korea.
