The project has an estimated live capacity to hold 178.74 Tmcft at its full reservoir level of 885 feet (270 m) MSL. Its gross storage capacity is 6.116 cubic km (216 tmc ft). The minimum draw-down level (MDDL) of the reservoir is at 705 feet (215 m) MSL from its river sluice gates, and corresponding dead storage is 3.42 Tmcft. [4]
The International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) defines a "large dam" as "A dam with a height of 15 m (49 ft) or greater from lowest foundation to crest or a dam between 5 m (16 ft) metres and 15 metres impounding more than 3 million cubic metres (2,400 acre⋅ft)". [50] "Major dams" are over 150 m (490 ft) in height. [51]
