		A diversion dam is a type of dam that diverts all or a portion of the flow of a river from its natural course.

	Laguna Diversion Dam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Constructed between 1909 and 1924, the Laguna Dam was decorated with numerous swastikas, thus developing the eventual nickname "Swastika Dam." It should be strongly noted that the swastikas present on this structure were not put there for racist reasons or anything remotely negative.
		This dam was the first authorized dam built on the Colorado which originally diverted water to farmlands in the Yuma area.
		The dam was built due to the passage of the Reclamation Act by the US Congress in 1902, creating the Bureau of Reclamation, originally known as the U.S. Reclamation Service.

	DWP Diversion Dam - 11/28/2005 - Rocky Mountain Construction
		The dam was designed and is being built with extreme sensitivity to environmental concerns, including the endangered Silvery minnow, Willow flycatchers and eagles, as well as other issues of vegetation, water quality and sediment.
		This is protected by the height of the diversion dam being limited to 4.5 feet.
		The dam is being built with a fish passage as well as a "fish screen" to prevent the Silvery minnows and other fish from being taken from the river with the water diversion.

	Letter from the Superintendent \| Cascades Diversion Dam Removal Project \| Yosemite National Park
		Additionally, the structure sustained damage during the flood of 1997 and currently poses a threat of possible uncontrolled and sudden failure.
		The dam was constructed in 1917 as part of a hydroelectric generating facility that was taken off line in 1985, and no longer serves a useful purpose.
		If the environmental assessment and a Finding of No Significant Impact are approved, dam removal is expected to take place in fall 2003 in order for demolition of the structure to occur during the period of low water flows.

	1920-1924, The Gorge Diversion Dam and Powerhouse
		From Newhalem to the Gorge Creek Diversion Dam the trackage was electrified and two streetcars and an interurban baggage motor which had been used by Washington Water Power in the Spokane area were purchased.
		Construction of the dam began in September 1937 and a 2,700 foot long extension of the railroad from the top of Diablo Dam to a barge landing was built.
		To raise the dam to its ultimate height of 665 feet the thickness had to be increased so a "waffle" pattern was built into the dam to provide better adhesion.

	SRP: Granite Reef Diversion Dam
		The purpose of the Granite Reef Diversion Dam is to divert water from the river into the canals north and south of the river for delivery to water users within the Project.
		The loss of this diversion structure, which belonged to the Arizona Water Company, caused serious problems for the farmers under the Arizona Canal.
		Designed as a single point of diversion for all of the northside and southside canals, the concrete dam received authorization in July 1906.

	Your Letter Needed To Help Endangered Salmon Pass The Fish-Killing Red Bluff Diversion Dam!, Fish Sniffer Online
		Although the Endangered Species Act has required improvements to the dam's fish ladders, and even mandated the raising of the dam gates eight months a year to ease the passage of the endangered winter run chinook salmon, the facility still blocks the free migration of salmon, steelhead, green sturgeon, and other fish species.
		The Red Bluff diversion dam was constructed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in 1964 to divert water from the Sacramento River into the Tehama-Colusa and Corning canals.
		Raising the dam gates 12 months a year would significantly improve fish passage, ranging from an astounding 91% for adult spring chinook salmon, to a significant 54% for green sturgeon, to a modest 3% for juvenile fall run chinook.

		This chapter summarizes the consistency analysis with the Merced River Plan, including the findings of the Cascades Diversion Dam Project Wild and Scenic River Act Section 7 Determination, which is included in Appendix B, Merced Wild and Scenic River Section 7 Determination.
		The river segment at the dam from the top of the pool to 200 feet below the dam is classified as recreational, due to the human-made impoundment at the site.
		The dam itself is located in management zones 2A and 2B.

	EPA: Federal Register: Fish Passage Improvement Project at the Red Bluff Diversion Dam, Tehama County, California
		The project goals are to: [sbull] Substantially improve the long-term reliable level of anadromous fish passage, both upstream and downstream, past the Red Bluff Diversion Dam.
		During the remainder of the year, the dam gates are open, allowing a free flowing, unimpeded river.
		Bypass--This option creates a fish-friendly channel around the dam with sufficient water flow to attract and transport fish moving upstream and deliver juvenile fish moving downstream when the dam gates are lowered in late summer and early fall.

	Construction Rescheduled at Fulton Diversion Dam near Winthrop
		The Bureau of Reclamation has notified its managing partners that preparation of final engineering designs for reconstruction of Fulton Diversion Dam will be postponed until early 2006, while engineers study the effectiveness of an innovative instream design for fish passage.
		The dam is located on the Chewuch River near Winthrop.
		Reclamation is working on a design known as a roughened channel that will have the overall physical appearance of a natural streambed, improve fish passage, and meet water delivery needs of the Fulton Ditch Company.
