For Dam,Kawah Ijen placed although it has a beautiful panorama but it’s a little quiet of tourist due to difficult route to reach those placed. Some time the foot step route was slide due to high rain
Dam Kawah Ijen are concrete building that already exist since Dutch colonialism at Indonesia, this Dam was made to arrange water level on this lake, so can prevent flood of water with high acid concentrate.
This Dam can not totally function cause the water form this lake was never reach the water gate due to there are any leakage inside Dam.
Fortunately this leakage was create a gypsum naturally due to sulfur and calcium reaction from water and stone from the Dam.
This reaction are happen continuously and now became a Gypsum court. This court can also be a potential placed to visit if we can manage those place professionally.
