Spordalda Dam is the main dam associated with Budarhals Power Station in the Tungnaa and Kaldakvisl hydropower system. The dam forms Spordoldulon reservoir, which receives water from Hrauneyjalon before it is used at Budarhals Power Station.

The dam is approximately 27 metres high and just over two kilometres long. It forms part of the interconnected Thjorsa and Tungnaa hydropower system, where water is used repeatedly as it flows downstream through several power stations.
