The Bayano Dam is a dam on the
Bayano River in
Darién Province,
Panama. The dam was built in 1976; its construction flooded approximately 350 square kilometers of rainforest, displacing thousands of indigenous residents. The flooded area is now
Bayano Lake. The dam is the second-largest power source in Panama.
