I think "List of dams and reservoirs in the United States" or "List of dams and their reservoirs in the United States" would be far better titles--ID as a list, and match the format of the content. I'll probably do it sometime if I don't see/hear any objections. Niteowlneils 02:57, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Why does Oklahoma have nothing written here. They have the most of any state —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.251.100 (talk • contribs)

Because you haven't added them yet. --Kbh3rdtalk 00:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know if this could be worked into the article, but here is a list of the # of "major" dams per state in 2005 according to the same dataset used to draw that map (source cited on image description page):

18 174 VA 36 96 MA

There are 52 entries because it includes Puerto Rico, and there are 18 dams w/o a state, or for which the data columns got messed up and which confused the automated count I used. That would bear further investigation before putting into the article. In any case, we can now tell the Okies that Oklahoma does not have the most of any state, though it is ranked up there at #5. --Kbh3rdtalk 08:05, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lake-Be-Gone Woes "Deterioration, Environmental Issues Threaten America's Dams—and Local Economies" November 19, 2011 Wall Street Journal by Jim M Carlton, excerpt ...

Now, as the waters recede, Burlington is joining dozens of other communities across the U.S. that must readjust as dams that once gave birth to new waterways and thriving economies based on tourism, irrigation farming and hydropower are altered or dismantled, reverting landscapes to the way they were decades ago.

Are breached dams dams?

That is, if a dam has been breached, should it still be listed here? Jar354 (talk) 00:32, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think so perhaps with a brief note giving the conditions of the breaching. Dam removal for fish habitat being the most popular right now, at least on the West Coast. —EncMstr (talk) 03:47, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
