The Shuikou Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Minjiang River in Fujian Province, China. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supports a 1,400 MW power station with 7 x 200 MW Kaplan turbines. The dam also provides navigation with a 500-ton flight of 3 ship locks and a 500-ton ship lift. Other purposes include flood control, irrigation and recreation.{{cite web|title=Shuikou|url=http://www.chincold.org.cn/dams/rootfiles/2010/07/20/1279253974137620-1279253974139513.pdf|publisher=Chinese National Committee on Large Dams|accessdate=4 January 2011 | archiveurl = | archivedate = | quote = The project consists of concrete gravity dam, powerhouse, 220 kV switch station, 500 kV substation, one-way three-steps ship lock that can accommodate two 500-t barge and ship lift. Its main function is power generation, incorporated with navigation, flood control, irrigation and tourism. }}

| quote = Navigation facilities included in the scope of the first project were a three flight ship-lock to accommodate two 500-ton ships and a raft lift to accommodate a 10.5m x 64m x lm timber and bamboo raft. The transportation capacity of the ship-lock was estimated at 3.2 million tons per year, while that of the raft-lift was 1.6 million m3 per year. By the time of the appraisal of the second loan in mid-1991, FPEPB had decided to upgrade these facilities to convert the raft lift to a vertical ship-lift which could also accommodate two 500-ton ships at the same time. The ship-lift was therefore included in the additional scope of the second project.
