Salto Do Moraes

Salto do Moraes is a small hydroelectric dam and weir on the Rio Tijuco near Ituiutaba, in the Triângulo Mineiro region of Minas Gerais.

The concrete gravity structure stands approximately 8 meters tall and is classified as a Pequena Central Hidrelétrica — a small-scale power plant — owned and operated by CEMIG, the state energy utility.

The facility has been in place for roughly 50 years and supplies electricity to the city of Ituiutaba while also playing a role in local water supply.

Because of its age and its position upstream of populated areas along the Rio Tijuco, the dam has been the subject of academic studies examining flood-inundation scenarios and downstream channel impacts in the event of a structural failure.
