 The Itaipu Dam is a hydroelectric power plant which is currently the largest in the world. Built from 1975 to 1991 by Brazil and Paraguay on the Parana River. It took 16 years to build this series of dams whose length totals 7,744 meters. It used 15 times more concrete than the Channel Tunnel. The name "Itaipu" was taken from an isle that existed near the construction site. Itaipu, from the Guarani language, means "singing stones". The Itaipú dam is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, according to a worldwide survey conducted by the American Society of civil Engineers (ASCE) in 1995 and is producing 14750 MW.
