The Jatiluhur Dam is a multi-purpose embankment dam on the Citarum River in West Java, Indonesia. It is located 700NaN0 east of Jakarta, close to the medium-sized town of Purwakarta.
Jatiluhur Dam was designed by Coyne et Bellier and was constructed between 1957 and 1965 while the power station became operational in 1967. The dam serves several purposes including the provision of hydroelectric power generation, water supply, flood control, irrigation, and aquaculture. The power station has an installed capacity of 186.5 MW which feeds into the Java grid managed by the state-owned electricity company Perusahaan Listrik Negara. The Jatiluhur reservoir helps irrigate 2400000NaN0 of rice fields. The earth-fill dam is 1050NaN0 high and withholds a reservoir of 30000000000NaN0, the largest in the country.[2] [3] [4]
