The Lal Bahadur Shastri Dam is also known as Almatti Dam is a hydroelectric project on the Krishna River [1] in North Karnataka, India which was completed in July 2005. The target annual electric output of the dam is 560 MU (or GWh).
There are sixteen hydro power projects in Laos that use dams to store or divert water for electricity generation. The highest dam built so far is the 185 m rockfill and concrete face dam at the Nam Ngum 2 project. The largest reservoir in Laos is the 450 km 2 Nakai Reservoir, created in 2008 when the 39 m high Nakai Dam was closed for the first ...
The project was well received by the Lao government and many international organizations, and the plan for construction was finalized in 1968. [1] Three distinct feasibility studies were conducted to outline each stage of the project, and three distinct funds were established to fund all three stages of the Nam Ngum 1 project.

The construction of the hydropower project is being completed in two phases. Phase I of the dams, including Nam Ou 2, Nam Ou 5, and Nam Ou 6 began operating on May 12, 2016. [2] Phase II of the dams, including Nam Ou 1, 3, 4, and 7 is expected to be completed in 2020. [3] Nam Ou 3 station part of phase II of the Nam Ou cascade hydropower project
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 Sidney A. Murray Jr. Hydroelectric Station, also known as Louisiana Hydroelectric (LA Hydro), opened in response to a need for a non-polluting, less-costly power source for Vidalia, Louisiana. A site approximately 40 miles south of the town was selected for the new facility. The 192 MW plant started full-scale operations in 1990. [1]
