The dam and reservoir receive water from a catchment area totaling 64 square miles (170 km 2), controlling water from about two-thirds of the Santiago Creek watershed. Santiago Dam is designed to contain up to a 50-year flood and withstand a 500-year flood of over 30,000 cubic feet per second (850 m 3 /s). Aside from Santiago Creek, Limestone ...

With a total storage capacity of 27,000,000 acre-feet (33 km 3) of water in Lake Powell, the Glen Canyon Unit accounts for over 64% of the system's overall water storage capacity. The 1,296 megawatt capacity of the dam's hydroelectric generators accounts for almost 75% of the overall generating capacity of the project. [6]

Approximately 87 percent of dams in Washington are earth fill dams, with the second most-common type being concrete gravity dams (6%). Only 113 dams in the state are taller than 50 feet (15 m). King County has 123 dams—the most of any county in the state. [1] The majority of dams were built between 1960 and 1999. [1]
The Mulholland Dam is a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power dam located in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California, east of the Hollywood Freeway.Designed with a storage capacity of 7,900 acre⋅ft (9,700,000 m 3) of water at a maximum depth of 183 feet (56 m), the dam forms the Hollywood Reservoir, which collects water from various aqueducts and impounds the creek of Weid Canyon.
Once built, the water stored behind the dam raises the water table and is then extracted with wells. A sand-storage dam is a weir built in stages across a stream or wadi. It must be strong, as floods will wash over its crest. Over time, sand accumulates in layers behind the dam, which helps store water and, most importantly, prevent evaporation ...
A cost estimate produced during the 2007 feasibility study placed the financial cost at a maximum of C$6.6 billion based on the 1981 design, safety, and engineering standards. [24] [25] An updated cost projection was released in May 2011 placing the estimated cost at $7.9 billion, [26] which was revised to $8.3 billion in 2014. [25]
