Vallenar, Chile
Santa Juana Dam
Santa Juana Dam is a dam on the Huasco River and associated artificial lake, 15 kilometres southeast of the city of Vallenar, Atacama Region and 530 km north of Santiago, Chile. In 1953 the Department of Hydraulics of the Ministry of Public Works established a camp to study the construction of the dam. With the establishment of the dam being discussed for decades, the final decision to build it came after a drought that lasted from 1988 to 1990.
