diga di Manso

The Manso Dam (Portuguese: Represa de Manso) is a hydroelectric dam on the Manso River, a tributary of the Cuiabá River, in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Completed in 1999, it generates enough electricity for 300,000 people, and the reservoir is a tourist attraction. The dam displaced many famil

ies from the area now covered by the reservoir, and the submerged, decaying vegetation has had negative impact on water quality in and below the dam, affecting edible fish stocks.
