Agelbert NOTE: This dam, plus a 12 mile tunnel, at the second deepest level underground ever dug for for a tunnel, will bring
water 💧, more needed than electricity, to the dry Western part of Peru, where 70% of the people live, from wet Eastern part which suffers from excess rain and flooding.
The plan is to make the
desert like area of dry Western Peru into
highly productive farmland 🌾 🌿 🍀 like California, after irrigation water canals sourced from Hoover Dam enabled the dry Califonia valleys to bloom with food crops.
