The pump-turbine units were uprated in July 1972 from their initial rating of 175 MW each to 204 MW each, increasing the plant's overall rating from 350 MW to 408 MW. [3] [16] From 1998–1999, the turbine runners for both units were upgraded, resulting in improved flow rates and another power uprate to 225 MW per unit (450 MW total). [17] [16]
Following is a list of dams and reservoirs in Missouri. All major dams are linked below. The National Inventory of Dams defines any "major dam" as being 50 feet (15 m) tall with a storage capacity of at least 5,000 acre-feet (6,200,000 m 3 ), or of any height with a storage capacity of 25,000 acre-feet (31,000,000 m 3 ).

Ideas for the MVA were influenced by the success of the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Aquifer test (or a pumping test) is a field experiment in which a well is pumped at a controlled rate and the aquifer's response (drawdown) is measured in one or more observation wells. [5] Cone of depression is a conically-shaped depression that is produced in a water table as a result of pumping water from a well at a given rate. [4]

Created in 1938, [1] this 8,400-acre (34 km 2) lake is located 120 miles (190 km) south of St. Louis, Missouri. The reservoir lies mostly in Wayne County , but its southernmost reaches (near the dam) extend into northern Butler County , both in Missouri.
