After the construction of Alqueva dam was finished another one was built a few miles down the river, near the town of Pedrogao, creating a very long and beautiful water mirror. This dam serves as a kind of buffer, it was built so that water can be pumped back to the other side of Alqueva dam, optimizing the electricity production.
