Construction of a reservoir with the main objective to optimize irrigation in the Putaendo valley, where currently 6.000 ha are irrigated, but with less than 50% of security of irrigation. The construction of the dam will increase the security up to 85% of those 6.000 ha and will cover 1.100 new hectares.
