Oroville Dam, located in California, is the tallest dam in the United States and plays a significant role in the state's water supply. The dam was completed in 1968 and provides hydroelectric power, flood control, and irrigation water to the surrounding agricultural areas. The dam's reservoir is fed by the Feather River, which in turn is supplied by both surface flow and snowpack from the Sierra Nevada mountains. The reservoir also serves as a recreational area for boating, fishing, and camping. However, in 2017, the dam experienced significant damage during heavy rains, leading to concerns about its safety and necessitating emergency repairs. Despite these concerns, Oroville Dam continues to be an essential component of California's water infrastructure.
