Jatiluhur Reservoir, Large reservoir in Purwakarta, Indonesia.

The Jatiluhur Reservoir stretches across 83 square kilometers, containing 3 billion cubic meters of water from the Citarum River in West Java.

The construction of Jatiluhur Dam started in 1957 under French technical expertise, leading to its completion in 1965 and power station operation in 1967.

Local fishermen maintain traditional floating net systems called Keramba throughout the reservoir, sustaining century-old fishing practices in the region.

Six Francis turbines generate 186.5 megawatts of hydroelectric power while the reservoir irrigates 240,000 hectares of agricultural land in West Java.

The morning glory spillway design of Jatiluhur Dam manages water flow up to 3,000 cubic meters per second, preventing flooding in surrounding areas.
