Dam rehabilitation of the Reservoir of Rakaca

01.03.2013 - 30.11.2016

The dam stability of Rakaca reservoir is deficient at certain places. This problem is aggravated by a drainage system which is not well-functioning. The project partly renews the unstable part of the dam and rehabilitates the drainage system. This reduces the risk of a dam failure with related flood waves for the 5’200 inhabitants of down-stream settlements. Furthermore, supply of drinking water is ensured in the long run for 35’000 inhabitants of the region.

Thanks to this, 2’650 inhabitants of down-stream settlements are less threatened by a dam failure.
