Seems that agriculture was quite important back in 1957. Otherwise, why was the governor invited for the opening ceremony? 

Today, there is not much to irrigate, but I still saw maintenance worker there yesterday (2019-2-1). I wonder what the water is used for.

The monument is located below the dam, on the east side.
