Patterns of cooperation in the Yalu and Tumen rivers

Cooperation for hydropower dams on the Yalu River

Early cooperation

The first bilateral cooperation on hydropower in the river was the joint operation of the Shuifeng Dam, which was built from 1937 to 1944 by the Japanese. The Shuifeng Dam eventually paved the way for North Korea and China to establish a cooperation mechanism in which the countries agreed to set up the North Korea-China Hydropower Corporation. North Korea was in charge of production management, and the power generated by the dam would be evenly shared between the countries.

Three more hydropower plants have been constructed on the river. These dams reflect a similar pattern of bilateral cooperation over the Shuifeng Hydropower Dam, which encompasses joint ownership under nominal management of the joint corporation and generates and shares the power equally under the operational management of the North Korean side (Nickum 2008).
