Sobradinho, Administrative division with hydroelectric dam in Bahia, Brazil
The municipality of Sobradinho encompasses 1,238 square kilometers of land area along the São Francisco River in northeastern Brazil.
The construction of Sobradinho Dam in 1977 required the relocation of 70,000 people from four cities and thirty villages in the surrounding area.
Residents of Sobradinho, known as Sobradinhense, maintain strong connections to agricultural traditions and water-based activities near the reservoir.
The municipality operates at an elevation of 380 meters above sea level and maintains direct access to the Sobradinho Reservoir for water supply.
The Sobradinho Reservoir, formed by the dam, creates an artificial lake that extends across 4,214 square kilometers through multiple municipalities.
