After Ten Years of Waiting, Panelas II Dam Is Inaugurated After a Decade and Benefits More Than 200 Thousand Residents.

The inauguration represents the definitive answer to the question that hung over Cupira, Panelas, Lagoa dos Gatos, and neighboring municipalities: when would the structure finally be operational and why did it take so long? Now, with the delivery completed, the region can breathe a sigh of relief once again.

A Project Born After Historical Floods

The story of the Panelas II Dam is inaugurated after a decade begins in 2010, when Pernambuco faced heavy floods that devastated cities along the Una, Panelas, and Sirinhaém rivers.

Moreover, at that time, the state government, then led by Eduardo Campos, launched a package of structural works to reduce the impacts of the floods.

Panelas II is part of this set of interventions along with the dams of Serro Azul, Gatos, Igarapeba, and Barra de Guabiraba.

Initial Investments and Long Paralysis

Before the interruption, Panelas II had already received R$ 47.3 million in two phases.

The structure, designed to store 16.9 million cubic meters, had the potential to drastically reduce recurring floods in the Panelas and Una rivers.

Still, the work did not progress for eight years.

Change only occurred in 2024, when the project was reclassified as a priority within the New PAC, ensuring the definitive resumption of services.

Thus, the third phase received more than R$ 83 million from the Federal Government, in addition to new state contributions.

In the updated planning, the completion required R$ 55.8 million in civil works and another R$ 20 million allocated to reforestation, environmental programs, and dam safety.

To ensure the work’s pace, Brasília also released periodic transfers: five installments of approximately R$ 11.5 million each.

Conclusion Reinforces Flood Protection and Water Supply

In addition to flood control, the facility is expected to enhance the water supply of Cupira, Panelas, and Lagoa dos Gatos, ensuring greater regularity in supply and creating more favorable conditions for economic development in the Mata Sul.

A Landmark for Pernambuco

Thus, the delivery of the Panelas II Dam symbolizes more than the completion of a delayed project: it represents a renewed commitment to the safety and future of populations vulnerable to floods.

After years of waiting, the region finally sees one of the most important structural interventions come to fruition.
