Abstract
II
GRAND COULEE DAM
THE second of the great power projects in the * United States to be described is the Columbia Basin Project, Washington. It includes the construction of a dam which, when completed, will be the second highest in the world; the formation of an artificial reservoir with an area of 82,000 acres or 128 square miles; the installation of a power plant which will ultimately exceed the capacity of any other now in existence, and an important irrigation canal system over adjacent territory.
