Talk:Yacyretá Dam

Spelling
The correct spelling is Yacyretá (even though it is not correctly spelled by guaraní ortography rules). Should this article be renamed to correct this situation?

Full power
The information at the end of the article is not correct. The dam is *not* working at full capacity, and the mentioned 7m increase of water level is part of the original design. Only when that additional raise in water level is completed will the dam be working at full capacity. The current water height is 76m over the sea level, and the planned level was 83m. It is important to mention that those seemingly inocuous 7m would increase the power produced by 66%, going from 12gwh a year to around 20. Therefore the statement that the dam is working at full capacity since 1998 should be corrected.

 * The error was considering capacity with total numbers of generators. --Mariano (t/c) 19:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Ranking
Accordingly to this other source, it is only the 12th largest, not the second largest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_hydoelectric_power_stations —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.136.97.87 (talk) 01:39, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

bogies and other animals
"Numerous protected species have been affected in one the few spaces in which they survive in Argentina and Paraguay, including deer, pampas, capybara, herons, bogies and vacarés"

There are several possible issues with this sentence:

1. Are deer protected species in Argentian and Paraguay? Was this area really of the few spaces in which they survive?

2. 'Pampas' is a region and not an animal.

3. As for herons, the same question applies as in (1).

4. What is a "bogey"? The entry for Wikipedia refers to a wagon or a phantom. Perhaps this should be clarified.

5. Also, there does not seem to be any creatures called vacarés, as far as I could tell, on a google search.

Information on the Bi-National Entity?
Is any information about this organization available? I am not finding any, but this may just be me. Thanx. RayKiddy (talk) 22:38, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
