The Kaliwa Dam in the Philippines will stand about 73 meters (240 feet) high and is designed to supply 600 million liters (158 million gallons) of water per day through a 21.9-kilometer tunnel.
The government sees the dam as a key project to increase water supply and reduce frequent shortages, especially in the capital, Manila, and nearby provinces.
