A publication by the Climate System Research Center of the University of Massachusetts Amherst projects that, under the higher emissions scenario where global average temperature increases by 4.0–6.1 °C (7.2–11.0 °F), Cincinnati would experience over 80 days a year with temperatures over 90 °F (32 °C), and 29 days a year over 100 °F ...

This reservoir is a major water source for the city of Columbus, Ohio. It holds 20.8 billion US gallons (79,000,000 m 3) of water and has a surface area of 3,272 acres (13.24 km 2), or about five square miles. Construction began during 1953 due to the increased water demand of post-war Columbus.
For 20 years, it served as the only reservoir serving the city of Columbus' drinking water needs. [3] Griggs Dam is a gravity dam with a 500-foot-long (150 m) curved concrete spillway. Its height is only 35 feet (11 m), but it forms a reservoir almost 6 miles (9.7 km) long with a 1,200,000,000-US-gallon (4.5 × 10 9 L) capacity.
