The Angel Cruz Dam (Aija - Ancash) will be located in the Mellizo Canyon of the Aija River at 2.5 km N 85ºO west limit of the Aija town. It will be a Concret Arc Dam convexed to N60ºE in quartzite Chimú Formation of lower Cretaceos with 246 m high. The upper part of the Dam has an altitude of 3,257 msnm and a length of 730 m. It will dammed 500 millon cubic meters of water of Aija river formed by the intersection of rivers La Merced, Santiago and Yachún. The water to be impounded by the Dam will be used for the irrigation of arid lands of the Coast of Huarmey and also for the continous supply of water for five Hidroelectric Central in the Aija river. External and internal geodynamics that will affect the dammed water and the Dam as well must be considered. It is also important to consider the inviromental impact that will result in the impoundment of water.
