This does <br /> <br />not include a nunber of reservoir projects for flood control only, such as the <br />Creek <br />Cherry/Da1'l neo,r Denver and the Cold Brook Dam in western South Dakota. These <br /> <br />projects rc.nge in size froB snc,ll inpounJnents to sone of the largest struct- <br /> <br />lITeS in the world. <br /> <br />Of the 64 darlS in the Du~tiple-plur~ose category, 38 have power instclla- <br /> <br />tions.
