It stands at a height of 200 meters above the river valley floor and is more than a kilometer long (1,130 meters)! The dam hosts many features, including hydroelectric power generation, flood control, water quality improvement, and irrigation. With a rate capacity of 435 MW, the dam has helped meet the growing energy demands of the Philippines while providing water for agriculture and mitigating the risk of flooding.
