Jiguey-Aguacate is considered one dam not two as listed on The INDRHI site. I have 2 cousins that have been working in Valdesia for the past 15 years and a friend that has been working in Jiguey-Aguacate since mid 2002.
I think the list on the INDRHI site is inaccurate base on what I know of the Nizao area dams or perhaps they are using some strange way of determining what a dam is. In any case I'm going to call my cousin that works in Valdesia to ask him about the Las Barias dam and also the Jiguey dam. I'll post an update when I talk to him.

Oh this is going to be fun!
First, find your dam..........!! I think it would be
enormously helpful if you could post the info your cousin comes up with. Also if you could ask him what these are pictures of which INDRHI would have us believe are:
PRESA DE JIGUEY
PRESA AGUACATE
and
PRESA DE VALDESIA
Like A.Hidalgo I wouldn't be remotely surprised if the INDRHI website is inaccurate, so let's try to get accurate info here. I'm fairly sure there are more than 8 although 34 is probably too high. I'd personally go for somewhere between 19 & 24. Any advance on between 19 & 24? Gentleman in the corner wishes to bid?
That
isn't including these listed by Dag on the Olga thread:

Whatever happend to all the money that was invested in starting the Presa de Hondo Valle project, which has since disappeared from the planning boards? The work on the Presa de Gualgui and the Presa de Hondo Valle were done on borrowed funds as well, for which the country is now paying interest.

No, there is a different significance in those appointments & it links to the Tavera tragedy according to Luis Arthur. Read his entry Nombramientos for 31st. December 2007
