The Movable Dam is located in Trucuk District, Bojonegoro Regency, East Java. The dam, which was funded by a loan of IDR 351 billion from the Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA), has multiple functions. It serves as flood control, irrigation, a raw water supply for industry and households, and is also designated as a tourist destination for Bojonegoro Regency. The Movable Dam's function, in addition to providing water for households and agriculture, also protects the Bengawaan Solo River ecosystem from flooding and serves as a form of water management in East Java. Other benefits of the dam include providing water for agriculture during the dry season, for industrial needs, and as a connecting bridge between Padang Village and Ngringinrejo Village in Kalitidu District. For agriculture, the dam is capable of meeting the irrigation needs of 6,400-9,000 hectares of agricultural land spread across eight districts. Namely Trucuk, Kalitidu, Purwosari, Malo, Padangan, Kasiman, Ngraho, and Margomulyo. Also agriculture in Blora. Because the dam with a 50 km long reservoir can accommodate a water discharge of up to 13 million cubic meters with a water discharge of 5,850 liters per second. With the construction of this dam, farmers living along the banks of the Bengawan Solo River, especially above the upstream part of the dam, will be able to increase agricultural productivity. Previously, farmers could only plant twice a year, now it is hoped to increase to three crops a year. Previously, around 21 thousand hectares of rice fields in West Bojonegoro relied on rain-fed agriculture. After the pumping system, the area was unable to harvest twice a year. So, the area irrigated rice fields with water pumps increased to 6,000 thousand hectares. With the construction of this moving dam, 11 thousand hectares of rice fields will be able to be planted twice a year, and produce an average of 7 tons per hectare. The construction of this dam has been planned since the Dutch colonial era. However, because the colonial government at that time went bankrupt, the construction of this dam was not carried out. This movable dam provides numerous benefits to the people of Bojonegoro. In addition to providing irrigation, it can also be used for drinking water and the oil and gas industry. It also opens up access to previously isolated areas thanks to a 504-meter-long, approximately 4-meter-wide bridge. The dam sits on 1,841,752 square meters of land.
