In 2015 a wild river died under a huge mass of water: the Baixo Sabor Dam.

These images should be read as tombstones, non-historic documents or vernacular remains of life.

A massive artificial lake was born:

Height of dam upstream – 123 meters
Downstream dam height – 40 meters
Capacity of the reservoir – 1 095 million cubic meters of water
Installed power – 172 MW

The River: South view from “Castelo da Marruça”, Felgar. It is perceived the typical appearance and characteristics of the agricultural holding and silviculture.
