There are over 80,000 Non-powered dams (NPDs) in the United States that could add 12 GW of nameplate capacity or 45 terawatt hours (TWh) per year. The top 100 NPDs alone could add 8 GW, which could add 15% to hydroelectric generation of the 78 GW that was online in 2012. 81 of the top 100 NPDs are owned by the Army Corps of Engineers , the U.S ...
The National Inventory of Dams (NID) is a congressionally authorized database documenting dams in the United States and its territories. [1] It is maintained and published by the US Army Corps of Engineers. [1] It contains information about each dam's location, size, purpose, type, last inspection and regulatory facts.

Following is a list of dams and reservoirs in Texas. 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 ).

Averaging a major dam every 72 miles (116 km), the rivers in the Columbia watershed combine to generate over 36,000 megawatts of power, with the majority coming on the main stem. Grand Coulee Dam is the largest producer of hydroelectric power in the United States, [1] generating 6,809 megawatts, over one-sixth of all power in the basin.
