The Aguas Blancas Dam, once known as the Basso Dam, is a dam located in Lavalleja, Uruguay. It is located in the Aguas Blancas area of the Abra de Zabaleta mountains, accessible via Route No. 81, which can be reached from kilometer 91 of Route No. 8 or from Route No. 60. The dam is built on the Mata
ojo stream, with the purpose of irrigating fruit farms in the area. On December 19, 1943, in the presence of President Juan José de Amézaga, national authorities, municipal officials, and farmers, an artificial irrigation service was established. This spanned 565 hectares, for which a reservoir of 118,000 m3 was calculated. The largest apple establishment in the country was operated in the area.
