The dam is located in the municipality of Valle de Bohí, in the region of Alta Ribagorza, in Lérida, Catalonia, Spain. Until 1996, the municipality received the name of Barruera.

The dam is built by means of a series of buttresses anchored to the rock. It has a free spillway at the coronation, which allows the water to slip through four of the buttresses to its base.1 In this place the river Noguera de Tor is born. In the last 10 years, the average storage has been 14 hm3, 93.1% of its capacity.

The plant is 4108 meters from the dam and 1300 meters above sea level. The jump is 438.35 m and is located at the junction of Noguera de Tor with the Sant Nicolau valley, which provides water from Serradé lakes through the Sant Esperit dam.2 The installed capacity is 45 800 kw.3 There is a car park at the base of the dam at 1697 m, which is accessed by the road from Caldas de Bohí.
