The reservoir

The reservoir is a lake that originated in the 1960s. There was a part of the forest, about as big as Utrecht, put under water. This is done to form a dam so that there could be excited by hydropower energy. With this energy bauxite could be processed .

In this reservoir you can still see the treetops protrude, these trees are not cut down due to money savings. In the reservoir there are piranhas and also there are growing plants. So threatened the water hyacinth in the years 60 ´ the functioning of the dam. It is therefore very impressive to sail between treetops and water plants.
