It began in 1912, was interrupted between 1914 and 1918 by the war and resumed in 1921, to complete in 1925. The first dam was approximately 13 m high and fed the Yaté village hydroelectric plant. It was soon insufficient and the work was to start again, which was done in 1956. The current dam is 60 m long, 641 m long and its vault is 200 m long. The thickness of the wall varies between 2,3 and 9 m. The water leaves to the Yaté hydroelectric plant.
