Alqueva Dam is a massive hydroelectric dam located in the city of Moura, Portugal. It is one of the largest dams in Europe and is situated on the Guadiana River, which flows through Portugal and Spain. The dam was constructed in the early 2000s and was completed in 2002, after several years of planning and construction.

The Alqueva Dam is an impressive feat of engineering, standing at over 96 meters tall and spanning a length of 458 meters. It has a total capacity of 4.15 billion cubic meters of water, making it one of the largest reservoirs in Europe. The dam is also equipped with six turbines, which generate a total of 2,520 megawatts of electricity, enough to power over 1 million homes.

The reservoir created by the Alqueva Dam is not only used for hydroelectric power generation but also serves as a source of irrigation for the surrounding agricultural land. The dam has helped to transform the region's agricultural industry, providing water to previously arid areas and increasing crop yields.

In addition to its practical uses, the Alqueva Dam is also a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can take a guided tour of the dam and learn about its history and construction, as well as enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The reservoir is also a popular spot for water sports, such as boating and fishing.

Overall, the Alqueva Dam is an impressive engineering feat that has had a significant impact on the region's economy and environment. It is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the area.
