The Florentino Ameghino Dam (Dique Florentino Ameghino) is a hydroelectric dam in Chubut Province Patagonia Argentina 140 kilometres (87 mi) west of the city of Trelew. The dam also protects the towns in the lower Chubut River valley from flooding. The Florentino Ameghino is located on the Chubut River which originates from snowmelt in the Andes. Work began on the dam in 1943 led by the engineer Antonio Pronsato; the dam was inaugurated in 1963.
