Brokopondo Reservoir

The Brokopondo Reservoir, officially named Professor Doctor Ingenieur W. J. van Blommestein Meer, with a surface area of approximately 1,560 km², depending on the current water level, one of the largest reservoirs in the world, flooding nearly one percent of the country. It was created by constructing Afobaka Dam across the Suriname River, about 110 kilometres south of Paramaribo, between 1961 and 1964.
