Ah Pah Dam

Ah Pah Dam

Ah Pah Dam was a proposed dam on the Klamath River in the U.S. state of California. It was to have been convert|813|ft|m high and located near the mouth of the river. It would stand almost as tall as the Transamerica Pyramid building in San Francisco, but would be much more massive. It would flood convert|40|mi|km of the Trinity River, including the Hupa Indian Reservation, the lower Salmon River, and 70 miles (100 km) of the Klamath River. All of this water would be pumped back upstream in the Trinity and through a large tunnel to the Sacramento River and onward to Southern California. The reservoirs would capture 15 million acre-feet (19 km³) of water for the south. It was named in the language of the Yurok people.
