WATER WAYS

A 4 km long headrace channel is excavated in the reservoir floor to direct the stored water to the intake structure. 3 km of headrace tunnel, pressure shaft and pressure tunnel transport water from the intake structure to the power station. Turbined water is stored and the flow regulated thanks to an artificial pond before being finally released into the Xe Bang Fai River through a 27 km downstream channel.
