Lake Salvajina, Hydroelectric reservoir in Suarez, Colombia
The Salvajina reservoir extends for 31 kilometers along the Cauca River, with concrete-face rock-fill dam measuring 400 meters in length and 148 meters in height.
Construction of the Salvajina dam concluded in September 1985, initially generating 270 megawatts of electrical power through three Francis-type turbines for the region.
The reservoir construction resulted in the displacement of local communities, with reports indicating between 3,000 to 6,000 residents relocated from surrounding areas.
The reservoir functions as a flood control system and drinking water source for Cali, with the Corporación Autónoma Regional del Valle del Cauca managing water releases.
The facility maintains a total volume of 764.7 million cubic meters, featuring an active capacity of 695.7 million cubic meters for power generation.
