About Madden Dam
The Madden Dam, completed in 1935, impounds the Chagres River in Panama to form Lake Alajuela, a reservoir that is an essential part of the Panama Canal watershed. The lake has a maximum level of 250 feet above sea level. It can store one third of the canal's annual water requirements for the operation of the locks.
