These considerations are pertinent as when you build a hydrodam, you are building a lake as well as a hydroelectric power generating and/or flood control &  irrigation  reservoir.

While the data provided reflects the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ practice for hydroelectric dam design for the 1980’s, the same principles apply today.  For current design practice, the user of these documents must contact a regional USACE director’s office for updates specific to that identified opportunity, especially as regards more modern facilities modeling software tools than are provided in these pages.
