Fanshawe Dam is a dam located on the eastern edge of London, Ontario. The crest of the dam is 625 metres long. It is 30.5 metres in height and drops the river surface 12 metres. Fanshawe Lake is the reservoir created by the dam. The hydroelectric generator of the Fanshawe Dam generates enough power to run 400 households.〔 It is one of three dams on the Thames River. After repeated floods, the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority built the dam to control the level of the Thames River; construction began in 1950 and completed in 1952. It cost $5 million - Federal government 37.5%, Provincial government 37.5%, Upper Thames River Conservation Authority 25% (95% from City of London, Ontario, 5% from London Township).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fanshawe_Dam )〕 A seismograph is placed inside the dam by the University of Western Ontario’s geology department.〔 ==See also== *List of reservoirs and dams in Canada * Pittock Dam (Thames River) * Wildwood Dam (Thames River) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fanshawe Dam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
