The tidal barrage is a eight kilometre long system of dams, three lock chambers, and 36 sluices.
Soldiers running along the top of one of the dam bridges. The goal of the barrage was the prevention of seawater mixing with the fresh water of the river, improving the water supply and allowing the irrigation of additional land.
The dam allows the passage of ships up to 50,000 tons.
