Lake Salvajina, Hydroelectric reservoir in Suarez, Colombia
Lake Salvajina is a hydroelectric reservoir on the Cauca River in Colombia that stretches across a wide area. The facility was constructed with a large concrete dam and serves multiple purposes for the region today.
The reservoir was completed in the 1980s and fundamentally changed the landscape and life in the region. The facility was created to generate power and manage river flow.
The reservoir sits in a region where people rely on its waters for daily life and agriculture downstream.
The lake is most easily reached from nearby cities and offers several viewing points along the shoreline. Visitors should note that water levels change, which can affect accessibility to certain areas.
The reservoir does more than generate power—it plays a critical role in water management for millions of people downstream. This dual function makes it essential infrastructure for the entire region's stability.
