Maguana River Dam
The typology chosen for this dam, located over the Maguana River (a tributary of the San Juan River), has been roller-compacted concrete (RCC). This is capable of storing a volume over 5 hm³ with a basing of 1.250.000 m². With a fixed lip slipway and a 20 m length, it is incorporated to the reservoir, with a smooth surface design that pours the water over a stilling pool wide x 20 m long. The deviation of the Maguana River was conceived in two phases. In the first phase, rock septa were installed at the deviation’s entry and exit points, specifically at elevations 614.00 msnm and 608.00 msnm. Once the canal was completed, the septa were removed to build the cofferdam downriver at an elevation of 610.00 msnm. After closing the river course, the second phase works will allow for the construction of the dam and spillway, as well as the water outlet structures for the hydroelectric central and the draining system.
The water outlets for the hydroelectric central are located at 621.00 msnm high and the forced conduit follows some 2.5 km parallel to the access up until the hydroelectric central. The drain outlet at the base is located at an elevation of 505.00 msnm, with a fixed grille and stoplog flood gates. Down river, at the control building, two flat flood gates, 2 x 2 m, will be built in a bureau style.

Aguacate Hydroelectric Dam
The Aguacate Dam, the second hydroelectric of the Nizao River (from its higher point), is located at Paso El Ermitaño, Peravia Province, about 20 kilometers down river of the Jigüey Dam and up river of the Valdesia Dam. The hydrographic basin of its source is about 747 km2 and includes the Jigüey central water turbine, up river in of the Aguacate Dam. The lake surface is 0.35 km2 with a total capacity to hold 4.3 million m3 of water. At its minimal level during regular operation, its useful volume is 1.46 milliones m3 while its volume reaches 2.84 million m3. The dam has a maximum operation level of 329 msnmq and a 324 msnm minimum.
Electric power production from 1992 to 2001 reached 1,710.12 GWh, for an average of 171.01 GWh per year. In other words, the largest production of hydroelectric plants in the Dominican Republic, surpassed only by the Tavera dam (189.18 GWh).

Palma Sola Dam
Due to the conditions of the original dam which did not guarantee work safety, Palma Sola was completely removed to build a brand new dam which is 14 m high, with a granular filter in its base, a rockfill protection in the upstream slope and grass protection in the downstream slope. Together with the new dam, a water intake was built on the right side of the river. This vertical tower was combined with a deviation work. Both water exits are controlled by guillotine style floodgates. Conduction through the dam is created by a 2 x 2 reinforced inch diameter pipe. The emergency spillway is made up of a thin ridge wall measuring 30 m long in order to discharge a maximum avenue of 100 m3/s. The return period is calculated at 100 years. A rectangular reinforced concrete canal with vertical drops was built to reduce the water erosion speed before reaching the creek’s natural stream.
