Itapu Dam

Hehehehe... 2 fish... Damn...

Anyway, this is the dam with the highest electricity generation capabilities in the world. 18 turbines (2 more coming online this year) each turning over 700MW.

Powers all of Paraguay and about a quarter of Brazil.

The spray is from the spillways which release all the water they CAN´T use in the turbines. Those plumes were about 150m high. I was impressed
