Summary

[edit]
Description
Português: O comprimento total da barragem é 7.919 metros. A elevação da crista é de 225 metros. Itaipu é, na verdade quatro barragens juntas – da extrema esquerda, uma barragem de terra de preenchimento, uma barragem de enrocamento, uma barragem de concreto principal, e uma barragem de concreto para a ala direita.

A vazão máxima do vertedouro de Itaipu (62,2 mil metros cúbicos por segundo) corresponde a 40 vezes a vazão média das Cataratas do Iguaçu. A vazão de duas turbinas de Itaipu (700 metros cúbicos de água por segundo cada), corresponde a toda a vazão média das Cataratas (1500 metros cúbicos por segundo). O Brasil teria que queimar 536 mil barris de petróleo por dia para gerar em usinas termelétricas a potência de Itaipu. A barragem principal tem 196 metros de altura, o que é equivalente a um prédio de 65 andares.

OBS.: Até hoje os argentinos temem pela abertura das comportas de Itaipu.
English: The total length of the dam is 7,919 meters. The crest elevation is 225 meters. Itaipu is in fact four dams together - from the far left, a filling earth dam, a rockfall dam, a main concrete dam, and a concrete dam to the right wing.

The maximum outflow of the Itaipu spillway (62.2 thousand cubic meters per second) corresponds to 40 times the average flow rate of the Iguaçu Falls. The flow of two Itaipu turbines (700 cubic meters of water per second each) corresponds to the average flow rate of the Cataratas (1500 cubic meters per second). Brazil would have to burn 536 thousand barrels of oil per day to generate power from Itaipu in thermoelectric plants. The main dam is 196 meters high, which is equivalent to a 65-storey building.

Note: Until now the Argentines are afraid of opening the floodgates of Itaipu.
