La Viña Dam, Hydroelectric dam in San Alberto Department, Córdoba Province, Argentina.

La Viña Dam stretches 317 meters across Los Sauces River with a height of 106 meters, featuring two Francis turbines that generate electrical power.

Construction of the Antonio Medina Allende Dam started in 1938 and concluded in 1944, marking a substantial advancement in Argentine infrastructure development.

The dam's location near Nono connects it to the heritage of Comechingones indigenous people who inhabited the Traslasierra Valley region.

The reservoir supplies water for irrigating 24,000 hectares of agricultural land while generating 16 megawatts of electrical power through its hydroelectric station.

The curved structure of this arch dam efficiently holds back water at an elevation of 839 meters, utilizing natural topography for maximum effectiveness.
