Sau Reservoir, Catalonia, Spain, Sept & Dec 2020

The Pantà de Sau is a reservoir near Vilanova de Sau that stores and channels water from the Ter river and is located inside the Guilleries-Savassona Natural Area. This is an excellent place for walking, observing plants and wildlife and doing watersports. Although the original project to build the reservoir dates back to 1931, work was not started on the Sau reservoir until 1942. The dam was completed in 1966, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 151.3 hm³ that covered the former town of Sant Romà de Sau. One of the most well-known images of the reservoir is when the water level drops and the Church of Sant Romà appears. The dam has a structural height of 83 m and a crest length of 260 m.
