Manso Dam, Hydroelectric power station near Rosário Oeste, Brazil

The Manso Dam features four Francis turbines and extends 3,680 meters across the Manso River in Mato Grosso State.

Construction of the Manso Dam started in 1988 following severe regional floods and reached completion in 1999 with a 212-megawatt generation capacity.

The construction displaced over 650 local families from their ancestral lands, leading to substantial changes in community structures and agricultural practices.

The reservoir maintains a storage capacity of 7.3 billion cubic meters and generates electricity sufficient for 300,000 residents in the surrounding region.

Water levels in the reservoir fluctuate substantially, dropping to 28.7 percent capacity in December 2015 before recovering in mid-2016.

Inception: 1999

GPS coordinates: -14.87090,-55.78518
