Roller gates of Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 15, the largest roller dam in the world. Roller dams are a type of weir, or a dam that is designed to allow water to flow over the top in continuous action.

Ciriaco Nadres in 1872 constructed a dam made of adobe to irrigate his farms. His property was later sold to Placido Escudero in 1890. The dam was later enhanced in 1904 using concrete and expanded in 1937 to generate 90 KVA electricity for communities in Quezon, making it the first mini-hydroelectric dam in the Philippines. [2] [1]
