Coronado Dam

Coronado Dam (also known as The Badlands Dam) is an arch dam located in southeastern Santo Domingo, between the district's border and the Badlands.
==Overview==
Located in one of the poorest areas of Santo Domingo, Coronado Dam — with a large white Petrochem logo on its front — is to all appearances abandoned, with the doors leading into the structure barred and with no personnel present. There is an edifice on the southwestern side of the dam, and a parking lot to the northeast. Following the road west leads to a viewpoint that has one of the best views of Night City.
The reservoir basin lies empty of water and it is instead overran with junk from the neighboring municipal landfill. At some point there was a large quantity of water, as seen from the shoreline marks alongside the basin's wall. The dam to the south prevents Laguna Bend from emptying its waters here.
==History==
Coronado Dam was built in the late 20th century as a reservoir to provide water and electricity to nearby towns and homesteads, being one of the first large-scale constructions in the area.
During the 2040s, a nomad campsite was located near the dam's base. Although the water was potable, the reservoir had been steadily drooping its level, making it more difficult to garner it.J Gray on Discord: "The water behind the dam actually is drinkable. The level is just constantly dropping."
At some point, the reservoir dried up and the dam was abandoned. The remaining basin was used as a dumpsite ever since, filled with Night City's trash.
Around 2062, NC Dam Ltd. built a new dam on the southern side of the basin, creating the reservoir of Laguna Bend.News report 07/17/2062 In 2077, ecologists were demanding a clean-up of the Coronado Dam basin, and activists had already presented an official petition to the City Council.

*Early Cyberpunk 2077 maps show only this one dam while the reservoir in Laguna Bend extended here. It is unknown why another dam was created for the videogame.
