The dam is 128 m (420 ft) tall and 445 m (1,460 ft) long (535 m (1,755 ft) if the spillway section is included). Its crest is 17 m (56 ft) wide and at an elevation of 495 m (1,624 ft). The structural volume of the dam including rock, clay and filters is 7,100,000 m3 (9,286,449 cu yd). The dam collects water from a catchment area that covers 17,850 km2 (6,892 mi2). Its reservoir, by design, has a storage capacity of 3,000,000,000 m3 (2,432,140 acre⋅ft). Of that capacity, 2,500,000,000 m3 (2,026,783 acre⋅ft) is active (or useful) storage while 500,000,000 m3 (405,357 acre⋅ft) is dead storage. At a normal elevation of 485 m (1,591 ft), the reservoir covers an area of 113 km2 (44 mi2).
