What dam was dedicated in 1935 and is upstream from the deepest dam in the world?
Parker Dam Parker Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam that crosses the Colorado River 155 mi downstream of Hoover Dam. Built between 1934 and 1938 by the Bureau of Reclamation, it is 320 ft high, 235 ft of which are below the riverbed, making it the deepest dam in the world. The dam's primary functions are to create a reservoir, and to generate hydroelectric power. The reservoir behind the dam is called Lake Havasu and can store 647000 acre.ft or over 210 billion US gallons. The dam straddles the state border at the narrows the river passes through between the Whipple Mountains of California and the Buckskin Mountains of Arizona.
Kishanganga Hydroelectric Plant The Kishanganga Hydroelectric Plant is an $864 million dam which is part of a run-of-the-river hydroelectric scheme that is designed to divert water from the Kishanganga River to a power plant in the Jhelum River basin. It is located 5 km north of Bandipore in Jammu and Kashmir, India and will have an installed capacity of 330 MW. Construction on the project began in 2007 and was expected to be complete in 2016. Construction on the dam was temporarily halted by the Hague's Permanent Court of Arbitration in October 2011 due to Pakistan's protest of its effect on the flow of the Kishanganga River (called the Neelum River in Pakistan). In February 2013, the Hague ruled that India could divert a minimum amount of water for power generation. In August 2017, India was permitted to construct the Kishanganga and Ratle Dam projects by the World Bank after Pakistan complained that the construction of these dams were not permitted under the Indus Water Treaty.
