The upper reservoir can hold about 1.5 billion US gallons (4,600 acre-feet; 5.7 million cubic metres) of water behind a wall nearly 100 feet (30 m) tall. [12] It sits 760 feet (230 m) above the 450 MW hydroelectric plant, which gives it a greater head than that of Hoover Dam.
Length of dam: 1,877 feet (572 m) Maximum height of dam: 179 feet (55 m) Earthfill: 3 million cubic yards (2.3 million m³) Concrete: 500,000 cubic yards (380,000 m³) Penstocks (pipes through dam): Eight 5’ 8" x 10’ discharge sluices and two hydroelectric penstocks, 15 feet (4.6 m) in diameter; Hydroelectric generating capacity: 400 megawatts

The outlet works can allow up to 2,530 cubic feet (72 m 3) per second. If full, the reservoir would hold 1,183,300 acre-feet (1.4596 × 10 9 m 3) of water, [2] and is 53 miles (85 km) long. [14] The total drainage area of the dam and reservoir is 10,900 square miles (28,000 km 2) in Eastern Oregon and western Idaho. Owyhee Dam was the tallest ...
Hoover Dam, in Blendon Township, near Westerville, Ohio, dams the Big Walnut Creek to form the Hoover Memorial Reservoir. 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.

Breaching the dam involved cutting a 12 x 18 x 100-foot (30 m) tunnel in its base; the final 15 feet (4.6 m) was drilled and blasted. A dredge removed woody sediment from the dam's inside face, and when breached, the reservoir was expected to drain within six hours, but actually drained much faster, in only about 30 minutes.
