Angololo Multipurpose Dam

The 928th tallest dam in the world

m

The Angololo Multipurpose Dam is a planned dam across the Malaba River, at the border between Kenya and Uganda. The dam will create a reservoir capable of storing 43,000,000 cubic meters (4.3×1010 L) of water for drinking, irrigation and power generation. An estimated 3,300 hectares (8, 200 acres) are expected to come under irrigation (1,180 hectares (2, 900 acres) in Kenya and 2,120 hectares (5, 200 acres) in Uganda), with water from this dam. The dam is expected to benefit at least 127,300 people in both countries. The dam is also expected to support a mini-hydroelectric power station with capacity of 1.75 megawatts.
