- Ah Pah Dam
Ah Pah Dam was a proposed dam on the
Klamath River in theU.S. state ofCalifornia . 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 theTransamerica Pyramid building in San Francisco, but would be much more massive. It would flood convert|40|mi|km of the Trinity River, including theHupa 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 theSacramento 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.References
