Yacyretá Dam
The Yacyretá Dam or Hydroelectric Power Station Jasyretâ-Apipé (from Guaraní ''jasy retã'', "land of the moon") is a dam and hydroelectric power plant built over the waterfalls of Jasyretâ-Apipé in the Paraná River, between the Argentine Province of Corrientes and the Paraguayan City of Ayolas. The dam is named for Yacyretá Island just upstream, much of which the dam submerged. The word "Yacyreta" is the Hispanicized spelling of the original Guaraní term Jasyretâ. .
The dam is long, and its installed equipment has a maximum power output of , with a record maximum annual power output of achieved in year 2012, and a maximum water flow rate of 55,000 cubic meters per second.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Data on the Yacyretâ dam )〕 Until February 2011, its reservoir was seven meters below its planned water level, only allowing it to operate at 60% capacity.〔
The project generated controversy and criticism during its planning and construction because of the effects it had on local ecology, particularly the flooding of a unique environment〔 causing the extinction of numerous species. The financial management of the project also garnered criticism, as it greatly exceeded its original budget, ultimately costing more than $11 billion.
