Topic - Shasta Dam

Shasta Dam (called Kennett Dam before its construction) is a curved gravity dam across the Sacramento River in the northern part of the U.S. state of California, at the north end of the Sacramento Valley. The dam mainly serves long-term water storage and flood control in its reservoir, Shasta Lake, and also generates hydroelectric power. At high, it is the ninth-tallest dam in the United States and forms the largest reservoir in California. - Source: Wikipedia
