Torside Dam was completed in the early 1970s to create Torside Reservoir for water supply. The earth-fill dam is approximately 1,800 meters long and 35 meters high, effectively holding back the reservoir's waters. The reservoir supports a variety of wildlife, making it an important site for both recreation and environmental conservation.
