Oiticica Dam, Embankment dam construction in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.
The Oiticica Dam extends across the Seridó and Piranhas-Açu rivers, with a planned water storage capacity of 556 million cubic meters upon completion.
Construction of the Oiticica Dam began in 2013 with initial plans for completion in 2015, though by 2019 the project reached only 74% completion.
The dam project affects three municipalities - Jucurutu, Jardim de Piranhas, and São Fernando - transforming the local communities' relationship with water resources.
This infrastructure project, managed by DNOCS, requires an investment of 150 million dollars to enhance water supply for the surrounding regions.
Once finished, the structure will become the third largest artificial reservoir in Rio Grande do Norte, storing water between two major regional rivers.
