Description
From my trip to Romania, this is the Bicaz hydro-energetic dam, which is 127 m tall. (in order for it to be built, more than 170.000 cube meters were excavated). The works for the construction of the dam started in 1950, year that signified the approval of the electrification plan of the country. The costs have raised nearly 1, 7 billions lei and also have meant the loss of hundreds of people (they have died during the works). Many convicts worked here (most of them were political convicts that were specialists in the field), military men and brigadiers.
For this project to be accomplished, nearly 20 villages had to be displaced. Two of them, Rapciunita and Carnei, had to be totally extinguished. More than 18000 inhabitants from nearly 2300 house-holds were moved to other places.
Please note that the FINE ART AMERICA watermark will not appear on the final print! :)
