The Sihlsee (in English sometimes called Lake Sihl) is an artificial lake in the Swiss canton of Schwyz, near the town of Einsiedeln. The lake was created by damming the river Sihl and flooding a section of the upper Sihl Valley.[1]
The lake feeds the Template:Ill, which is located Script error: No such module "convert". to the north-east in Altendorf on the upper section of Lake Zürich (the Obersee) and which supplies electricity to the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). Its concrete dam is Script error: No such module "convert". high and Script error: No such module "convert". m long. The lake is the largest artificial lake of Switzerland in terms of surface with a maximum length of Script error: No such module "convert". and maximum width of Script error: No such module "convert".. The maximum depth is Script error: No such module "convert"., and the lake has an approximate volume of Script error: No such module "convert"..Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The power plant project started in 1932. A concrete dam and two viaducts over the lake were built before 1937 when the valley was flooded. As a result 107 farms disappeared completely and 1762 persons had to leave their homes.[2]
A failure of the dam could lead, according to studies, to an Script error: No such module "convert". high flood wave through the lower Sihl Valley reaching the Altstadt of the city of Zürich, the biggest city in Switzerland, within 2 hours. This threat has led the City of Zürich to develop, publish and test evacuation plans for the affected areas of the city, and especially the area around Zürich Hauptbahnhof railway station.[3]
