m

The Jardim do Ouro Dam (Barragem Jardim do Ouro Dam) is a proposed hydroelectric dam on the Jamanxim River in the state of Pará, Brazil. The dam would have a 42,600 hectares (105, 000 acres) reservoir and capacity of 227 megawatts (304, 000 hp). It has not been studied on detail due to relatively low return on investment compared to other projects in the region.
