The reservoir holds a maximum of 761 million cubic metres of water. The dam, which generates 142 million kWh of electricity per year, is 94 metres high, 7.5 metres thick at its base and 3 metres thick at its crest.

The other villages around the lake are: Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon Bauduen Les Salles-sur-Verdon
