    While other dams have a very specific shape, designed to withstand huge water pressures, this dam was built in a pyramid shape. The water pressure exerted on this dam is limited by the weight of the structure itself. It has a nearby twin dam. This dam was completed in 1858 and was one of the most formidable dams of its time.
