	Mountain Dell Dam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The dam was built in two stages, the first stage completed in 1917 with a height of 105 feet (32 m) above the foundation and the second stage, completed 1925, added 40 feet (12 m) to the height of the dam.
		The dam as planned and as constructed consists of 11 buttresses and 11 arches in the first stage and an additional 5 buttresses and 5 arches in the second stage.
		The maximum base width of the dam is 132 feet (40 m) from the face of the arch to the downstream end of the buttresses.

	The Golden Pass: Parleys Canyon, Utah
		Mountain Dell was referred to as Hardy's Station or Bishop Hardy's as early as August 1864.
		As an allowance for later expansion of capacity of the dam, plans were also approved for the dam to be built later to a full height of 145 feet with a holding capacity of 23,000 acre-feet of water.
		As part of the original Mountain Dell dam construction in 1917, the former territorial road, located at the bottom of the canyon, was relocated further up on the south side of the canyon.

	Brief Description of Building the Ultimate Dam
		The arches of the dam are supported upon the individual buttresses which, in turn, rest upon bedrock foundations.
		This is a massive masonry gravity dam of the type advocated by Eastwood's rival John R. Freeman.
		In contrast to multiple arch dams, gravity dams depend upon their enormous weight (or mass) to resist the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the reservoir; as such, they require huge quantities of construction material.

	Mountain Dell Dam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Seven years later the dam was raised an additional 40 feet to its current height to increase the water storage to 3, 173 acre-feet at a cost of $274,000.
		Dell is a major source of water supply to Salt Lake City’s water service area.
		In the years prior to the completion of Little Dell Reservoir, up stream from Mt. Dell, it provided the necessary storage of water needed to meet the municipal water demand of the City during the summer and fall months when the other canyon streams were diminishing in flow.

		This view shows the characteristic shape of a MULTIPLE ARCH dam in which the upstream surface of the structure is formed by a series of arches.
		In contrast to the multiple arch dam, which is designed to utilize as little construction material as possible, gravity dams depend upon the enormous weight of the structure to hold back the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the reservoir.
		Gravity dams can be extremely expensive to build, but they were (and still are) considered by many conservative engineers to be the most desirable type of dam.

		That may be disconcerting as this year's mountain snowpack is far heavier than during the recent extended drought, posing a tougher-than-in-years test for dams during upcoming spring runoff.
		Also, Mountain Dell Dam in Parley's Canyon was long one of the biggest concerns in the state and had an initial risk rating score of 250.
		Additionally, he said, "Measurement of movement (by the dam structure) is done monthly," as is measurement of movement of water under the dam.

		Chamber board members wouldn't comment, but Lawrence said she was fired over a dispute that arose after negotiations to merge the lake's chamber with chambers in the surrounding counties broke down.
		Part of the problem at Smith Mountain Lake is that no one entity makes or enforces laws and regulations that govern the entire lake area.

		For almost two years this earth dam held; then on May 18, 1927, part of the dam gave way and a wall of water, mud and rock flowed down the canyon destroying valuable property.

		While the principal watersheds of the Pangani are mountainous areas of high precipitation, the main river channel runs through the dry Maasai Steppe of northern Tanzania where rainfall rarely exceeds 500 mm per annum.
		Downstream of the dam, the Pangani travels 430 km to the sea and traverses extensive swamps before fuelling the Hale hydropower station and the turbines at Pangani Falls.
		The resulting loss of mountain soil and the deposition of silt in the water courses are affecting many lower level ecosystems.

		They pumped the first water into reservoirs and that was part of my job at times to watch for Gopher holes in the dam's, it would wash out in a short time and no way you could stop it once it got ahead of you and that shovel.

		Once the decision had been made, there was no turning back, and a wall rising 587 feet from the riverbed was erected with almost 10 million tons of mixed concrete and 7 years of herculean effort.
		Glen Canyon Dam was the last dam built on the Colorado River.

	John S. Eastwood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unfortunately, the financial capabilities of the company proved insufficient to meet the great cost of constructing the dam in the remote reaches of the mountains, and, as a result, Eastwood was forced to rely on an undammed, natural supply of water to drive the turbines and generators.
		To alleviate this, bonds were floated in 1914 to finance the construction of three storage dams, the largest being Mountain Dell Dam in Parley's Canyon, ten miles east of the city, that has been built in two stages from 1914 to 1925.
		Following the initial construction of Mountain Dell Dam, Eastwood continued his career in water resource development and dam design, becoming involved in projects in California, Idaho, Arizona, Mexico, and British Columbia.

	Historic American Buildings - HABS/HAER Highlights (American Memory from the Library of Congress)
		The development of the multiple-arch reinforced concrete dam by engineer John S. Eastwood took advantage of the inherent characteristics of an ancient building form to greatly reduce the needed mass of dams.
		Inclined, reinforced concrete barrel vaults transfer the weight of the impounded water to the ground through a series of buttresses.
		The downward pressure actually increases the stability of the dam by pressing it against its foundation, making it an ideal design for poor foundation conditions.

	John S. Eastwood Papers - Water Resources Center Archives - University of California
		Had the SJEC's first few years of operation comprised a period of normal rainfall it is unlikely that the absence of a dam would have constituted a critical problem (by 1898 Eastwood was already planning to add a large reservoir to the system).
		The intent of these plans was to devise a type of dam that would be less expensive than conventional massive gravity dams (whether made of earth, rockfill, or masonry) yet equally strong.
		Although no other Eastwood dams were ever built in San Diego County, during the early 1920s Fletcher worked with him on a variety of projects in the San Diego River watershed that were ultimately squelched because of state supreme court rulings over water rights issues.

		The goal is to help control the highly invasive exotic grass, which has caused environmental and safety problems in the United States and Mexico.
		According to the city, the Fish and Wildlife Service did a study that showed the potential for environmental damage by not controlling the buffelgrass outweighs the potential damage from the herbicide applications.

		But Ron Willard, the biggest developer at Smith Mountain Lake, has serious questions about the plan's usefulness, because so much of the shoreline is already developed.
