This article describes various studies and the works that have been necessary to transform the natural existing basin into a dam, although the actual idea is rather that of a big water reservoir; analysis of the gorge, construction of the water-pipes, canals and weirs; the most suitable solution of the casting problem, etc. The dam volume has a geometric shape enclosed by two concentric oval lines, one at 732 m height, and the lower at 695 m. The axes of the two ovals are 615 x 570 m and 249 x 144 m, respectively. The maximum height of the water is 730 m (with a 2 m margin to allow for waves and water rushes and to meet the specifications for inland dikes). Hence, its capacity is approximately 4,450,406 m2.
