Lom Pangar Dam

The 928th tallest dam in the world

m

The Lom Pangar Dam is an embankment dam with a center gravity dam section currently under construction on the Lom River about 88 kilometres (55 mi) north of Bertoua in the East Region of Cameroon. It is located about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) downstream of the Lom River's confluence with the Pangar River and about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) upstream of where the Lom joins the Sanaga River. The dam's purpose is to produce hydroelectric power and regulate water flows along the Sanaga River. It is potentially part of a larger dam cascade on the Sanaga.
