Sobradinho Reservoir, Hydroelectric reservoir in Bahia, Brazil.
The Sobradinho Reservoir extends over 4,225 square kilometers, featuring a maximum depth of 30 meters and storing 34.1 billion cubic meters of water.
The construction of Sobradinho Dam started in 1973, with the reservoir beginning to fill in 1982, transforming the regional landscape of northeastern Brazil.
The creation of the reservoir modified traditional fishing practices and agricultural methods of local communities along the São Francisco River banks.
The reservoir generates 1,050 megawatts of hydroelectric power through six Francis turbines, supplying electricity to numerous communities in northeastern Brazil.
The reservoir maintains a regulated discharge rate of 1,060 cubic meters per second, controlling the flow of the São Francisco River throughout the year.
