Great Western Power Company Reservoir

The Great Western Power Company is working near Oroville, California, on what is said to be the largest water reservoir in the world. The water will be impounded by the large Canyon Dam, and will cover an area of from 25,000 to 30,000 acres. The reservoir will have double the capacity of the Ashokan reservoir that supplies most of the water to New York City, and, will also have double the capacity of the big Roosevelt Dam in Arizona. The power to be derived from this great body of water is to be converted into electricity.
