The lake was made to produce electricity. It was built from 1920 to 1923 by hand. The output water jump 475 m lower until the Casuzze hydro-electrical plant near Palermo. In the 1960s, to supply the increased demand of electricity, a newer plant just near the dam was built, which is still in function.
