In 2006, at 200 m dam height, it was regarded as the third highest dam of this type (concrete-faced rock fill dam or CFRD) in the world, but, in June 2006, the water which it held back ran out following a break in the dam wall.
The Campos Novos Dam was broken in June 2006, but survived until January of 2005.
