The El Cajón Dam officially known as Central Hidroeléctrica Francisco Morazán is a hydroelectric power plant located in Western Honduras. The dam impounds the Comayagua river which derives its large volume from two large tributaries Humuya and Sulaco. El Cajón is a double arch dam which uses parabolic geometry in horizontal and vertical axises to spread the weight of the impounded water to canyon walls which act as buttresses.
